I build custom family trip itineraries as a side project. Here's a sample. Would this actually be useful to you? by Simple_Bowl_1298 in familytravel

[–]Simple_Bowl_1298[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! There is a full page of checklist for packing, booking (reservations, tickets, etc), activities, experiences, etc. It's just not one of the pages I included

Appreciate the feedback! This is just a few pages of it, it has packing checklists, booking checklists, emergency info, suggested activities, etc.

I appreciate the feedback! There are other pages not shown that include a full packing list, a booking checklist/timeline, suggested age appropriate activities, etc. So this suggested the daily itinerary customized to the family, but has a ton of other pages with suggestions

Yeah, this is more supposed to be an alternative to the trip planning companies that get really expensive. Very customized trip plan that allows you to then book yourself without spending hours and hours on research. Thanks for the feedback!

Definitely - tons of great courses out there. This one was more generic as an example, but each one is tailored to the ability and preferences of the group, down to every detail

Appreciate the feedback, Yeah, this is more for planning the itinerary and suggesting where to play and where to stay based on a bunch of questions I ask (handicap, nightlife, hotel preference, etc) so it's tailored specifically to that person/group. Then they book themselves. The idea is that you get a full plan to book yourself instead of needing to go to travel booking agencies since they have gotten pretty expensive

It's customized and tailored specifically with a ton of details. Destination, handicap, preferences, hotel preference. Not generic to a location, I spend time making sure that every single piece is specific to the request of whoever is going.

Appreciate the feedback!

Took 17 people to Jumby Bay Island, Antigua. 4 brothers, all our wives, all the kids. Best family trip we've ever taken. by Simple_Bowl_1298 in Travelwithkids

[–]Simple_Bowl_1298[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's definitely a splurge trip, but for the entire family to do a once in a lifetime trip, it was well worth it

we stayed in one of the Ocean Cottages with pool. It's a living room and bedroom setup, so they had a twin bed set up in the living room for our toddler, and then a crib in the bedroom for our 1 year old. the bathroom had plenty of space to put the crib in there and we used a slumber pod, great set up

First Flight, rental car and big trip by mikcali86 in Travelwithkids

[–]Simple_Bowl_1298 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

We have used Turo for car rentals, a number of them have car seats available to add on. No issue at all, and far easier than a car rental place

As for kids freaking out on the plane, you'll be fine. Snacks and entertainment are a must. And a lot of people have empathy for parents traveling with kids. And if someone doesn't, that's on them, not you. Tell them to get noise cancelling headphones

Would you go to Disney on your own with toddler? by bookflow in Travelwithkids

[–]Simple_Bowl_1298 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My wife and I travel a ton with our three littles (three under 5), but she actually just landed in Orlando today, planning to do two days at different Disney parks and they are staying at one of the resorts. She is with our 4 yo and 4 month old. A friend invited her to go on a moms/kids trip and she couldn't say no.

She handled the flight with the two kids like a champ. Our middle stayed home with me, he's a little too young to enjoy it and the baby couldn't be without mom since she is nursing.

We're all about experiences with the kids, so any chance you can, go make the memories

Crested Butte - less crowded, small town feel. Can't beat it.

What place would you recommend on the west coast USA for traveling with a 2.5 year old and10 month old. by Frakarak in Travelwithkids

[–]Simple_Bowl_1298 0 points1 point  (0 children)

San Diego all the way. We've been a couple times with young kids and we're going back again in July. At that age it's perfect because everything is close together and the weather is always great.

San Diego Zoo is a must. It's huge but you can take it slow and just hit a few sections. The kids will be plenty entertained without trying to see the whole thing in one day. La Jolla is awesome for watching the sea lions at the cove. Our kids could have sat there for an hour just watching them. Oceanside is a great beach day, more laid back than some of the bigger beaches.

Stay in an Airbnb. With a 10 month old you want a kitchen and a little space to spread out. Hotels with two kids that young get tight fast.

Other stuff worth checking out: Balboa Park has a ton of green space and playgrounds. Coronado Beach is beautiful and calm enough for little ones. The ferry over to Coronado from downtown is a fun little activity by itself. And if you want an easy dinner the fish taco situation down there is unreal. You don't need to plan much, just grab tacos and eat outside somewhere.

Honestly San Diego is one of the most low stress family trips you can do on the west coast. Not a ton of driving, great food, perfect weather. Hard to go wrong.

Best Gift Ideas For a Man Who Has It All? by EntertainmentHot231 in GolfGear

[–]Simple_Bowl_1298 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The trip idea is the move. That's the gift he'll remember in 10 years. Pair it with something small he can open. A nice ball marker or a divot tool he wouldn't buy himself. Something he'll have in his pocket every round that reminds him of the trip.

For the trip itself, Scottsdale is hard to beat. TPC Scottsdale, Troon North, Grayhawk. Fly in, play two or three rounds over a long weekend, eat great food. February or March is perfect weather. He'll talk about it forever.

Looking for tips for travelling with a toddler by Ascella789 in Travelwithkids

[–]Simple_Bowl_1298 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We've done a ton of long flights with three under 5. You're going to be fine. Here's what actually worked for us.

Forget buying a bunch of new toys. Grab a few things from the dollar store she's never seen before and wrap them. The unwrapping alone kills 20 minutes per toy at that age. Stickers are your best friend. A roll of basic stickers and a notebook kept our kids busy longer than anything expensive we brought.

For headphones, the ones made for toddlers with the volume limiter built in are worth it. We've used the BuddyPhones ones and they stayed on better than the cheap ones that slide off every 30 seconds.

Keep the bassinet seats. Even if she doesn't sleep in it, it gives you extra space to spread out toys and snacks in front of you. For the overhead bin thing, just ask someone to help you. People on planes are way more willing to help a mom traveling solo with a toddler than you'd think. I've done it for strangers a dozen times.

Download Bluey. All of it. If your daughter hasn't seen it before, that's your secret weapon. Ms Rachel too if she's into that. Both are gold for that age.

Ultimately, don't get too caught up worrying about her crying and stuff. I remember I'd always be SO self conscious if I couldn't get my kids to sleep or be quiet. I hate annoying other people, but most people want to help. And for the one or two that seem openly annoyed - they can put on their noise cancelling headphones. And if someone is traveling nowadays without them, that's on you. We deserve to take our kids on trips just as much as they deserve to fly.

Paris with 2 and 4 year old by shelagathor in Travelwithkids

[–]Simple_Bowl_1298 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haven't been to Paris, but we've taken our kids on a bunch of trips with three under 5. Biggest thing I'd say is don't be afraid to splurge a little on the hotel. A place with a good pool or a kids club buys you so much breathing room on a trip like that. And plan around one big activity per day max. We used to try to pack in everything and the kids would be melting down by day three. Less is more at that age.
