Quick tips
Small things that make a big difference
Build in one lazy day
Every trip needs at least one day with nothing booked — it’s usually the one everyone remembers fondly.
Let each kid pick one thing
One activity, restaurant, or stop chosen entirely by them. It costs little and heads off a lot of complaining.
Pack a small "new toy" for travel days
Something they haven’t seen before buys 45 minutes of quiet on a flight or long drive. Wrap it, even.
Check entry requirements early
Passport expiry dates, visa rules, and vaccination requirements are the easiest thing to leave too late.
