Tuesday Tips & Questions: Volume 24

A: Kids set up: iPad, iPad case, headphones

Q: What apps do the kids use on iPad?

Q: Does your travel stroller fit on airplanes in overhead bin so you don’t have to check it?

A: Yes, it does fit in most overhead bins! Our lightweight travel stroller can be found here.

Q: Do you workout on vacation?

A: Yes & no. I don’t do my normal 45min-1hr workout, but I also don’t sit around all day. We walk to dinner (when possible), swim with the kids, chase children around 🙂 It is a nice break from high-intensity workouts though.

Q: Details on your travel look?

TIPS

• Have each kid carry their own backpack with a few activities (coloring book, crayons, sticker books…), small toys, water bottle & snacks. Then it’s on them and you don’t have to dig through your bag for those items.
• Save a few travel activities/small figurine toys/snacks for the way home. This way, they’re “new” and you don’t have to buy them at the airport.
• Before you leave for a trip check with your resort to see what kids activities & programs they have. Many larger resorts have a Kids Club and you can check your kids in there for a couple of hours if you want to go on an adult only adventure or have a date night!
• Shared more “Traveling with Kids” tips here. **We did switch to iPads for this trip and being able to download shows from Netflix was great & they were more user friendly for us.

LINKS I’M LOVING

1. Passport/Card Travel Set – perfect to keep everyones passports & travel documents in 1 place. I keep this in my carry-on.
2. Star Hoops // Wearing these on vacation! Love the star detail.
3. Over-Sized Sweater Dress // I love a good sweater dress and this one is a great length!
4. Gilded Vases // These would be so pretty to bring in for Fall – a little grouping on a coffee table, side table or shelf. I would leave empty or add eucalyptus or airy pampas grass stems.

If you have any other travel questions or questions about our trip, please let me know and I will answer them next Tuesday!
