Question

There is nothing more rewarding or enjoyable than spending time with the family. A great way to do this is go on a family vacation.

      Of course this can be a disaster if not planned carefully. It should involve everyone who is old enough to help in the process.

1. Make a list for packing. A list will simply serve as a reminder. You can always remove things from the list later.

2. _____________________. There is almost nothing more difficult than carrying too much baggage. There are stores everywhere if you forget something.

3. A carriage or car seat is not always a necessity.  In many countries you can rent one at the airport or near a hotel.

5. An emergency medical kit including all prescription drugs the family uses is very important. Have one person organize it and make sure to check it before leaving the house. It is not always easy to find the same medicine or medical aids in other countries.

6. Snacks and drinks can be stored in a carry-on bag and they usually help on lone trips.

7. When making airline reservations with a travel agent, make sure it is understood that a family is traveling. It is sometimes best to request reserved seating.
