Travel Tips:
"Worried about losing the kids in the crush? Dress the family in identical bright colors with emergency-only whistle-necklaces. Laminated ID cards sewn onto canvas sneakers will get you reunited should you get separated." ~
"Take a (deflated) beachball in the carry-on. The kids can play at the airport during an interminable lay-over; it won't hurt anyone or get lost and you can let the air out when your flight's (finally!) called." ~
"Let toddlers run off steam in the terminal during your lay-over. (Who says you can only ride once on the moveable sidewalk?) London's Heathrow, for instance, has some activities for little ones (free face-painting and washable tatoos plus a small play area) where yours can meet up with other kids and play a little. I wish there were indoor playgrounds for some energetic play, but I haven't found that yet. Keep posted!" ~
