In awe of you making it sound much easier than I am sure it is 🫡 and looking chic while doing it!!!! Also I love the upfront admittance of “traveling with kids it not the same as traveling without” - sometimes we just need the hard truth before we get into how to make it better
Great breakdown! My kids are college aged, but it was still fun to read. My kids occasionally reminisce about one particular DVD that lived in my son's travel backpack (just a cheap backpack vs a sturdier school backpack) that they only watched on plane trips, on a portable DVD player that I carried with me.
My only adds would be that I packed surprise food treats as well regular snacks in the kids' backpacks, so I didn't have to rummage around in the large reusable shopping bag (put above in place of my carryon) full of snacks that I always bring. Basically, enough for the plane and first few days so I don't have to worry about hitting a store if we get busy off the bat. Also, packing a few reusable shopping bags to keep in the rental car, because so many areas are charging for bags now (and who thinks to check that?)
Yes!!! Surprise food is SUCH a good tip and you’re right that it should be at arms length for the plane right!! I’m definitely taking your tip to bring shopping bags, that’s brilliant!!!
