2. Pack Sanitizer + Disinfecting Wipes
Traveling with kids can be a daunting task of its own. Given the current times, we encourage you to pack extra sanitizer and disinfectant wipes.
Although some airline carriers will provide you with some before boarding, you can never be too prepared.
Between messy kids playing with their gamepads to munching on snacks on the flight, you’re bound for something to happen. And, cleaning up the germs along the way should eliminate the risk of contracting anything.
Before heading to and from an activity, and before and after dinner, always pass around the sanitizer. This too will help keep the germs to a minimum.
3. Book Outdoor Activities
Outdoor activities are the ideal way to get your family excited for their family trip.
So, research what the local area or resort has to offer and contact them before locking something into place. From guided nature hikes to an array of water sport activities, anything outdoors is the prime way to keep your family entertained and healthy this summer.
Activities like kayaking, fishing, water skiing, paddle boarding, and snorkeling, all are sure to bring on memories.
