Tips for Traveling with Kids

•  Thinking of taking the family on a vacation?  A little planning can help keep the kids occupied and safe, and keep you sane on your family trip.

•  Remember to choose a location that is kid-friendly.  Look for a resort with lots of activities, a kid's program and kid's menu.  Our vacation experts can recommend the best destination, cruise or resort for your family.

•  Consider an all-inclusive resort, a cruise, or a condominium to control extra expenses.

•  When staying in a hotel, request "connecting" rather than "adjoining" rooms.  Adjoining rooms are side by side, but may not have a door that connects the rooms to each other.

•  Give children a brief description of where they are going and what to expect so they will feel more comfortable with their new surroundings.

•  Try to maintain the child's sleep cycle.  Don't plan activities too early or too late if your

child doesn't usually keep that schedule at home.
