Research shows that people
often bring more than one
mobile device when they
vacation. Multiply that by
every traveling family member,
and you’ll be plugging up all
of the unit’s outlets.
Power
strips and chargers
mean
that everyone can keep
their readers, tablets,
and phones juiced.
It’s no vacation if you have to
chase a toddler around to
protect against dangers such
as electrical outlets and
cabinets with cleaning
products. Pack a bag of
childproofing gear
—
outlet plugs, door and
drawer locks, and corner
guards — and you’ll rest
easier while your young one
explores safely.
For youngsters who might
find sleeping in a strange
room a little scary, a familiar
night-light
could be
soothing and make for easy
maneuvering during middle-
of-the-night awakenings.
TRIPS ARE FOR KIDS
FAMILY BONDING
Juice boxes, yogurt cups, and snack packs are all
great take-alongs when traveling with children —
but not if it requires lugging a heavy cooler
everywhere you go. A
collapsible cooler
,
however, can fit in
a bag when not in
use, and keeps
beverages drink-
ready at the
beach, on a hike,
or while
sightseeing.
For rainy days and downtime
in the unit, it’s nice to have
additional access to
entertainment. A
tablet with
movies
may keep a child
happy if other family members
are watching sports or reality
shows. And an
A/V adapter
can come in handy to stream
movies the whole family can
enjoy.
If you keep the Sriracha on
the table at home, chances
are you’ll have reason to use
it when eating in your resort
unit. It’s a good idea to take
small jars of
condiments
and favorite spices and
herbs
you routinely cook
with — they could be difficult
to find at resort minimarkets
or remote locations.
