Travel with children

Traveling with children requires additional planning. Here are a few helpful hints.

• Pack lightly – only take what you need.
• Have your child carry some of his or her items in a small suitcase or bag.
• Research the area you will be visiting and provide your children with interesting information on the history, climate and sites.
• Check out the customs of the area – children may be expected to behave in certain ways in different countries. Alert them ahead of time, so nothing is a surprise.
• Bring any medications in original containers that your child will need.
