We have finally returned, recuperated and regrouped after the international, intercontinental whirlwind of travel that was Mo Travels Summer. After several weeks of travel via planes, trains and automobiles with kids, there are a few things I can say that I know for sure regarding maintaining your sanity and sense of humor while traveling and enjoying the journey.
2. My little ladies are great travelers but eating differently than when
at home, being in different time zones, even the actual act of traveling wreaks
havoc on their digestive system. So I’m always prepared with something to
remedy the situation, like Culterelle Kids*. This probiotic supplement not only
provides ongoing maintenance for a healthy digestive tract, but helps reduce
digestive upset caused by too much cotton candy, and ice cream and pizza…
3. Things go smoother when I
have a plan. It’s not necessary to have every second of everyday mapped out,
but it is good to have some firm plans.
However, since I have a tendency to try to do and see as much as possible
while traveling, I had to make a conscious effort not to overschedule us and to
factor in a few days where we slowed down the pace.

Stop to smell the roses,
literally. Or look at the sunflowers. Go collect seashells or pretty rocks on the
beach. Or stay in and enjoy a rousing game of Hedbanz.
4. Inflight, in-car, in-train
entertainment is a must. The long plane ride was the perfect time to watch those movies
I never took the time or to go see. When the scenery began to get monotonous
during the train rides was the perfect time to fire up the iPad and catch
up on some of my favorite shows or get lost in that book that’s been
gathering dust on the nightstand, and podcasts, audio books
and singing at the top of our lungs to our favorite tunes helped make those
hours in the car fly by.
Make sure that all your
electronics are charged and you have extra battery packs, chargers, or whatever
you need to stay juiced up during the journey. I know for sure that it sucks
when your entertainment dies when you’re only half way there.
What tips do you have for
making travel fun and enjoying the journey?
