Organizing a summer vacation with young children is a pleasant but rather troublesome activity. It is necessary to take into account all the nuances and think over a number of important points. But do not be afraid, with the right approach, you can organize a fun and memorable vacation for the kids.
First you need to decide on the location of the vacation. If you have small children, you should not risk and torment them with long flights and a sharp change in climate. It is also better to postpone Asian and African countries for the time being, all the more so to visit them it is necessary to make a number of special vaccinations, and this is additional stress for babies.
For a start, it is better to stop at places with a mild climate and developed infrastructure. It is not necessary to rent a hotel in the city center, you can easily rent accommodation in a quiet and uncrowded place, but if necessary, you should be able to quickly get to civilization.
Prepare all the necessary documents in advance: yours and your child. It's not a bad idea to get health insurance. Make copies of important passports, medical certificates and birth certificates just in case.
Then decide how you will get to your holiday destination. If you decide to drive your own car, be sure to carry out a complete technical inspection of the car and eliminate even the smallest breakdowns.
When it comes to trains and airplanes, don't hesitate to buy tickets. This must be done in advance. The time of long standing in queues at railway and air ticket offices has passed, now tickets can be easily bought online on special sites.
The next step is choosing a home. It all depends on your personal preferences and financial capabilities. When booking a room, you need to take into account the presence in the hotel: a children's playground, a dining room with a children's or dietary menu, animation, a pediatrician or the possibility of calling a doctor (ambulance), babysitting services, rental of strollers and children's furniture, a shallow pool for children.
Consider the hotel's proximity to the sea. This is an important factor, since walking with babies for a long time in the heat will exhaust anyone, and soon you will not be happy about vacation.
If you want to relax with maximum health benefits, pay attention to sanatoriums and boarding houses. Do not forget to take your medical documents with you, so it will be easier for doctors to understand the essence of your problems and prescribe the necessary course of health procedures.
A separate moment is the entertainment program. Google in advance information on local attractions and interesting excursions. Even having a rough plan of leisure time, you will not waste time.
One of the most important steps in preparing for a summer trip with children is getting ready for the trip. You don't need to fill your suitcases with things and take half of your wardrobe with you. It is enough to take several sets of clothes for warm and cool weather.
In order to save money, sunscreens, swimwear and beach accessories are best bought in advance, especially if you are driving your car and you do not have to lug around a lot of bags.
Be sure to collect a first aid kit. Sometimes you need quick help, and while you look for the necessary medicine at the nearest pharmacy, precious time will be gone. The medicine cabinet should contain first aid supplies for motion sickness, antipyretics, pain relievers, indigestion medications, and medications that you regularly take.
If the children are very young, it makes sense to buy them a supply of baby food and diapers, at least for the first time.
In fact, the most important things for a vacation are documents, money, communications and medicines, the rest can be purchased locally. Well, don't forget to be in a good mood and willing to accept new emotions and impressions!
