The Bottom Line You need a "Barney Bag"
I just traveled alone with my 3 mo old, 2-1/2 yr old and 5-1/2 yr old girls from Virginia to Alaska. This is what I learned... Get a duffle bag... one large enough to fit a weekend of clothes for just you (necessities, I'm talkin'). In this, you need: * Lollipops (sugar free if needed) * Nutritious Snack (peanut butter or cheese crackers, etc.) * Fun candy (you know, the old candy necklaces and things) * Drinks (Kool-Aid Twisters worked well) * Gum (for airplanes -- ears popping) * Liquid Ibuprofen (new bottle -- great for adults, too) * Travel Tissues * Spill-proof cups (if needed) * Frozen Ice Packs (I used the ones from my breastpump) You also need the following, purchased on the sly without the kids ever seeing: * crayons * coloring books (one for each -- maybe one for you, too) * toy (I bought a Vtech Mouse Play Deluxe on sale for $15.00) Everything I purchased was used. I think I spent about $35.00 total... and OH WOW was it worth it, too. Also, keep extra things in the bag... I packed extra diapers for Lauren (2 yrs) and Morgan (3 mos) as well as a little bit of money, some change, baby wipes. We were delayed leaving Norfolk and missed our connection in Newark, so we had to stay the night... I made it with one diaper left by the time we arrived. I wished I had packed another light change of clothes for each child (I ended up hand washing everyone's clothing and drying them with a hair dryer). Happy Trails!  |
