- In transit, while you’re there…- Your child’s age and interests are most important.- New toys are nice, but not necessary.

Pack It Up! • Less is more.• Start packing early. • Make a packing list –
it’s re-usable!• Use the one-week-of-
clothing rule.• Plan on doing laundry. • Choose comfort over
style.• Use compression sacks. • It is possible for
families to travel with carry-on luggage.

Getting Around• Car Rental:
• Car Seat safety laws differ by state and country.
• Additional costs for car seat rental – by day.
• Trains: family fares, multi-trip passes. Great for school-age kids.

Sleeping Like Babies

Accommodation Choices and Sleep Issues
• Location choices: look for green spaces + accessibility to public transit.
• Trade-offs: Space, amenities + budget.
• Required (for me): Kitchen, laundry, separate sleeping spaces.
• On-site amenities and services

JETLAAAAAG!
There is no magic remedy.
Flight departure and arrival choices are v. important.
Set your watch to destination time.
Fresh air and exercise are the only fail-safe methods.
Children adjust more quickly.
Create a plan for handling disrupted sleep schedules in advance.
It’s worse on the return journey – plan ‘downtime’ day after you return home.
