021: 10 Family Travel Tips

James Fuller

In this episode we discuss traveling as a family and ways to stay ahead of your vacation. 

  1. Don’t over plan!!!
  2. Your kid doesn’t care about the things you care about. Mini golf, resort pool, etc
  3. Have plenty of snacks (especially to a theme park or beach). Don’t get HANGRY
  4. Lower stress levels - take a walk, CBD gummies and/or Ashwaganda, AirPods or noise cancelling devices (cone of silence). Try to not major on little stuff. In the words of Elsa… LET IT GO! 
  5. Eat places that you can’t get at home (more of a rule)  - caveat Chickfila is an exception and sometimes you just need a good fried chicken sandwich or salad
  6. Use a travel planner for Disney and/or your first time somewhere
  7. Grocery Delivery (walmart/publix/kroger/door dash/instacart) to your destination. We did this to Disney. 
  8. Have a pull behind cart if you plan to haul more than a little to the beach 😂
  9. After checking in for Southwest… stay on the app and wait for upgrade option. Paid $40 to upgrade from c10 to a1
  10. AirTags are great for sliding in your bags to track your luggage. Or bracelets for kids that slide AirTags into them
