Most kids don’t like driving or travelling too long or too frequently, so road trips or tours should be limited or reconsidered. Also if you plan your trip around just one location such as another city, town or overseas destination, make sure that there is plenty for the kids to do. Kids don’t want to spend their time walking or being pushed in their prams around old churches and museums. Budget for a nanny or consider accommodation with a kids club while mum and dad do other things. Get a nanny during sleep times in the afternoon while parents go to a gallery, or in the evenings during dinner. Pack light. Kids items can take up a lot of space but kids can’t always help to carry.
