My family just arrived from a two -week vacation in Baguio and in Subic.

My husband and I love to travel even during our school (college) days. We actually spent a lot of time traveling before our first son was born because we want to enjoy each other company spending our getaways without little ones in tow.
Those were the days. We already have two kids but our love for travel did not diminish.
It is good to have your kids with you when you travel; this would surely open their eyes to a lot more of new knowledge and discovery. When you bring along your kids in your trips, this is not only a way of bringing them close to your heart but also through this, your child would definitely make him or her more aware about the world around him or her.
Well, when kids are with you, you need to be more prepared because as we all know they have special needs and we have to respond to such needs. With the tips provided below, it would surely help you get yourself prepared for the entire travel.
You have to bring with you some of the most useful things you could carry with you as you travel and as you reach destinations:
- First Aid kits or even just a pack of Band-Aids
- antiseptic hand gel
- small tissue packs
- sun screen
- Dr.’s phone numbers or better bring their medical records
- small plug in nightlight – to help find the bathroom in the middle of the night
- medicine for headache and fever
- extra jacket, it’s summer but if you’ll lodge in a hotel it’s good to have one
These things are for the activities you could have together in order not get bored and to get their attention fully:
- Crayons
- mechanical pencils
- highlighter – good for word search games
- paperdeck of cards
- zip lock bags (collecting shells, storing food, wet clothes)
- most of the time we bring their gameboy/PSP too.
These are other things for travel uses:
- sun glasses
- hats/visors
- light weight wind breaker
- umbrella
- camera with extra memory/film and battery
- mobile charger
- keep a photo of your child in your wallet – in case you loose them in a crowed area. we lost our youngest son in Burnham park in Baguio, but this is another story to tell in the future.
- extra copy of birth certificates, photo id, travel reservations, airline tickets
With these pointers in mind, you would not surely miss the thrill and the fun, you would also be able to good at preparing for traveling like from the simple trips to those that require loads of planning.
