A lot of us pack and go on vacation for the holidays! This can be one of the more stressful events of the year, if we let it be. Today I wanted to share with you some tips to help make your vacation less stressful ANY time of the year!
1. Involve the little ones:
Have the kids prepare for the vacation with you by helping to pack and also planning activities they want to do while you are there. This will make the whole family invested in having a great time!
2. Budget:
Make sure you budget each thing into your vacation. There is nothing worse than running out of money while you are away. Buy as many tickets ahead of time that you can for activities and events and plan out meals, snacks, and even some emergency money in case someone gets the sniffles.
3. Confirm all reservations:
If you confirm everything, it eliminates the stress of anything falling through. Also, make sure you have gps or maps so that getting lost is out of the question. Stressful things...lost and no place to stay!
4. See for Free:
Look at where you are going and try to find things that are free or near free for everyone to enjoy like tours of candy factories, museums, or parks. This eliminates the stress of overspending and lets everyone have fun.
5. Entertainment Bag:
Bring a bag full of things for the kids or even adult passengers to do like a portable dvd player to watch movies, travel games, crosswords, or hand held video games. This removes some grumpiness on long car or plane trips!
I hope you all have safe and fun travels and remember, the trip isn't as important as your family members. Keep the love for them as your first priority and the trip will be loads of fun!
