Thailand Vacation 2024 - Our journey begins!

This was a dream come true vacation for us and this is where it began. This was the first time for a big vacation for the kids. Prior to our trip we had a chat with them about having grace for each other during the travel period. We wanted them to know it was going to be a very long first few days through travel as well as jet lag, and that we all needed to show a lot of patience for each other.

Some things we learned for that long flight.
1. Have the kids pack their own backpacks for the flight. We wanted them to feel prepared and also choose what they wanted to do on the flight. For them they mostly played their Nintendo and watched movies. Having said that, make sure you have a good pair of headphones that will fit into your Nintendo, Ipad as well as into the plane ( some of the ones provided by the airlines weren't very good). Make sure you also pack some for yourself. Noise cancelling airpods were amazing for us.
2. Make sure you have in your backpack a little bag with your toothbrush, toothpaste and any other toiletries you need until you arrive at the hotel. It was amazing to be able to freshen up between flights.
3. A good neck pillow and eye mask was a must! On the way there, we flew with the sun the whole time, so it was nice to black it all out and get some sleep.
4. Have a change of clothes (for sure for the kids just in case)
5. Bring refillable water bottles to fill between flights.
6. Carry a bag of snacks and protein bars
