Summer Holidays with childdren: How to organize them properly?
Summer is here and we are all planning our vacations. However, we need to remember that summer vacations with children are not easy, as they require organization and good preparation. Below are some tips to organize them properly.
Destination: Choose an accessible place, with shallow sea and clear water, that allows the child to swim and play comfortably. Check if there is a hospital or health care center in the area.
Transportation: When traveling by car, choose the most suitable and safest child seat. Prefer to start early in the morning and make frequent stops. If you travel by ship or train, prefer a cabin to ensure a calm journey.
Accomodation: The ideal would be to secure accommodation in a hotel with the appropriate infrastructure and services to accommodate children (eg playgrounds, swimming pools). However, if you choose to stay in rooms for rent, make sure there is a refrigerator and a kitchenette so you can prepare the child's meals.
Luggages: Pack a separate suitcase with enough clothes for the child.
Pharmacy: In addition to cosmetics, sun cream, sunburn cream, insect bite cream, antipyretic, antihistamine, thermometer, doctor's phone and child's health booklet are essential.
Family vacations are one of the most enjoyable experiences for the whole family.
