Today we’re wrapping up our travel package, On The Go With Scary Mommy, with a grab bag of extremely useful tricks for you while traveling with kids. Because, as we all know, it can be really hard to travel with children and keep it feeling like a proper vacation, as opposed to a stressful slog in a new location. So we turned to you guys — our readers! — via Facebook and asked what worked for you. And wow, you guys delivered. For instance, here’s a wonderful reminder for me, personally: “Baby wipes. No matter the ages of your kids, they are good for any kind of clean up.”

And this one, too: “I save goody bag nonsense from birthday parties to bring when traveling with my kids.” Frankly, this is a good trick for traveling, even with adults: “Know where your first meal will be when you arrive. Everyone will be hungry, tired, and cranky, and you will not want to figure that out when you get there.”

Check it out — and if you’ve got anything to add, email me at [email protected].
