Family Travel Tips: 18 Ways to Enjoy a Road Trip
31 July 2010 by admin
Categories: Travel Tips
Whenever one of my friends returns from some time away, I ask: “Was it a vacation, or was it just a trip?”
When traveling with kids, true vacations are pretty hard to come by. With the packing, the automobile seats, the change in sleeping schedules, and all the inevitable whining that comes along, it would be way easier to stay home (especially when traveling by car.)
And yet traveling is important. When we travel, we open to a world that was previously unknown to us. We touch other cultures and other ways of life; we broaden our own perspectives and understand, finally, that our small problems are just that.
When we travel with kids, we open their eyes to all of this and more. Even when we take a easy trip to visit distant relatives, we show them a world of love that they might not had known existed.
Here are eighteen tips to help you enjoy road trip traveling with your kids.
Before the trip:
1. Use online trip planning websites to locate kid friendly parks, historic monuments, and other attractions in advance. Plan at least one child oriented activity apiece day, even on those driving days. Involving your children in the planning of your pass will help them to get excited about the trip, too.
2. When you are doing your research and booking your destination, think about an all inclusive resort. These types of arrangements (in which your lodging, dining, attractions, and activities are included) can really help you rest and enjoy your precious pass time.
3. Have apiece child pack their own small backpack with the books, workbooks, and activities that they most want to bring.
4. Have a kid friendly travel map on hand, as well as a pair of binoculars.
5. Think about buying or borrowing a portable DVD player. We only get ours out on long trips, but it has been really helpful, especially if you are traveling very long distances.
6. Get apiece child a special book of games, puzzles, or easy coloring books, just for the drive, along with some washable markers.
7. Bring some music that everyone will enjoy singing along to. We love our CD of old campfire songs. You can even create your own CDs of family favorites.
8. Bring a Frisbee or a football for when you stop at a park. You want to help your children burn some energy in a reasonable amount of time.
9. Pack healthy snacks, such as nuts, trail mix, apples, energy bars, and bottled water. A package of baby wipes often comes in handy for tiny messes in the car, too.
10. Pack a journal and a disposable camera for apiece child, so that they can document the trip in their own way. These items can be gift wrapped and given to the children as you need a diversion from boredom or sibling arguments.
11. Make sure to speak about your pass like it is the eventual adventure. The enthusiasm that you bring to the prospect of piling into the automobile will help in untold ways.
In the Car:
12. If you can, do as much traveling as doable while your children are sleeping. Of course, country is paramount. If you find yourself getting at all sleepy, pull over and switch with your spouse or find a hotel.
13. If you do not like to drive at night, or you are driving through countryside that you would like your children to see in the daylight, make sure you leave plenty of travel time. Plan on a maximum of seven hours of driving per day. Get up early, drive a bit, and then check into your hotel in the mid afternoon and enjoy the swimming pool. Have a nice, relaxed dinner and leisurely check out some local sites in the evening.
14. While driving during the day, plan to stop at least apiece hour and a half. Stretch, take some bathroom breaks, and remember that getting there is half the adventure.
15. Finger knitting really helps my children to pass the time. All you need is a ball of yarn. There is no mess and you can find easy instructions online by doing a Google search for “Finger Knitting.” During our last automobile trip, we all arrived at our destination with lovely pink finger knitted scarves.
16. During a routine fuel stop, ask apiece child to select five or six postcards, which they can send to their friends. Make sure to bring your address book and postage stamps so you can mail them on the way.
17. Grant one child to be the “navigator” apiece day. The navigator looks at the map and gives suggestions on where to stop for snacks, gas, and meals.
18. Try these easy Travel Games:
The Alphabet Game: Find all the letters of the alphabet, in order, on license plates, billboards, and road signs. Or find objects that start with apiece letter.
I Spy: One mortal spies something in the landscape or in the automobile and gives clues. (One doable variation on this game is “20 Questions.”)
License Plate “I Spy”: See how many says you can spot.
License Plate Alphabet: Find all the letters of the alphabet, in order, on license plates.
Letter Bingo: Print out Bingo sheets with clip art or words depicting sites you will see on your trip.
Ultimately, it is important to remember that there is no such thing as a perfect family vacation. Prepare as much as doable in advance, and then rest and go with the flow.

What you need to know before travelling with kids

Going on a pass or travelling long distances with the family is one of the most exciting ways to enhance the family bond. However, travelling can get a tiny tricky when there are children or infants in the family.
Often people refrain long trips or vacations when they have children because they think it is going to be too much trouble. Though the parents’ fears might be legitimate, the travelling experience can be made interesting, simple and enjoyable if you know more about the factors that affect children while travelling.
Being prepared and expecting potential problems in advance will mean that travelling with children is not that difficult.
Change of Conditions
One of the factors you need to be aware of is ‘change of conditions’. When travelling, especially on long trips, there are lots of new and unfamiliar circumstances.
The purpose of going on holidays is to get out of the regular routine and whilst adults enjoy the change, for children, it is different altogether. Not doing things children do regularly can result in confusion, uncertainty and insecurity. In fact, this is often the opposite to what they are used to experiencing, because during their formative years parents are taught the importance of maintaining a routine.
Up to a certain age, children don’t comprehend why they are not at home and why they are travelling. They don’t interpret the words; ‘vacation’, ‘holiday’, ‘entertainment’ etc. the same way adults do. So remember that your children can be troubled by the changes that they have to face. They don’t have their beds to sleep in, they don’t take sitting at their regular place at home. If you notice, even at home they will stick to the same dining chair for each meal. This makes them feel familiar and comfortable. So when you throw your children into a completely new environment they can find it hard to cope.
Food
Another potential problem is that children don’t get to take their regular food, especially when traveling abroad. This can mean a child who is normally a good consumer becomes fussy or refuses to take altogether.
To alleviate the situation try to keep to their food timings as much as doable and also seek out food they normally prefer.
You can also begin introducing them to new foods at home, which they might experience during their travels. It’s a good intent to get them excited about the fantastic new things they’re going to try.
My friend Katie did exactly that before taking her 4 year old to Greece. Approximately 3 months before their flight she had a ‘Greek Night’ once a week where they would have olives, souvlaki (which is basically just delicious meat on a stick), Greek salads, tzatziki (yogurt and cucumber dip) and other delights. By the time her daughter arrived in Rhodes she felt chesty that she knew the obloquy of the Greek dishes she was being served and confident in what she was eating.
If you’re able, have a food back up plan by packing some of their favorites. This might not always be doable if your trip is overseas where strict quarantine regulations apply.
Jetlag
Due to jetlag, or any situation where the child does not have the comfort of their own bed, it is likely they will not get enough sleep. When children are sleep deprived, you know there is usually trouble. They get irritated even with minor encouragement and they become less able, and willing, to adjust to new environments.
Consider your travelling times and plan to align them with naps and night-time sleep so the entire family’s body clock does not suffer.
Boredom
There is one major area that many parents change to address and that is how to deal with boredom! Each parent dreads the question, “Are we there yet?”, as it usually signals the beginning of the end of temperate behavior.
You need to comprehend that children don’t always fancy the things you do. For example, you might enjoy the beauty of a long scenic drive, but your child is yet to learn how to appreciate nature.
When your child has become bored, they don’t know what they want. It’s ideal to prevent your child from reaching that stage. Once your child gets bored, they will stop enjoying even those things they normally like doing.
Children can also feel guilty about frustrating everyone and for being stubborn, so don’t make it worse by telling them how bad they are and how much trouble they are causing the family with their tantrums.
The basis of all the problems and boredom is unfamiliarity. For adults boredom results when there is no change in the things that they do regularly. We get bored doing the same things over and over, but children get bored when they aren’t engaged in activities they’re used to.
To help them cope with the situation, reduce as many changes as possible. Carry their beloved blanket, their favorite toys and you might want to think about buying travel games you play before the trip to determine if they are a ‘hit’ or ‘miss’ with your child. Then you only take the games that are most engaging which saves on space and the frustration.
Moreover keep them involved, assign them responsibilities, and make them feel part of everything that is happening.
Be Prepared for Medical Issues
Carry the required medication and consult your family doctor prior to packing medicines. Both children and adults are more vulnerable to colds and flu while travelling due to change of climate, temperature, air-conditioning etc.
If you are traveling to a non-English talking country it can be challenging to communicate the symptoms to obtain the correct medication. I can still remember the time I was standing in a chemist in Nice, France miming blowing my nose and coughing to explain my family member’s symptoms. Humorous for them no doubt, but not so enjoyable for me knowing I had a coughing and splurting child in the hotel room.
By being prepared before you embark on your travels you will minimize mayhem and maximize fun.
Happy trails!
