All-Inclusive Resort Vacation with Toddlers & Kids
Traveling to Mexico or Caribbean all-inclusive resorts with toddlers & kids? Worried about food and water?
(PRWEB) June 13, 2005 -- Traveling to Mexico or Caribbean all-inclusive
resorts with toddlers & kids? Worried about food and water? Don't worry,
things will be fine. Here's some tips:
- Bring a travel kettle to boil
tap water to wash your kids sippy cups, plastic cutlery etc. Put a small amount
of dish soap in a Tupperware dish and use that for soap.
- Even if your
hotel room tap water says it is drinkable don’t drink it. Sometimes just a
change in water even safe water can send toddlers and some adult’s
stomachs/bowels for a turn. Therefore brush and rinse your teeth and tooth
brushes with bottled water too. Just keep getting extra bottles in your mini
fridge.
- Bring lots of their favorite dry snacks from home for munching
in the hotel room and by the pool or beach.
- Eat fruit that has to be
peeled e.g. bananas, pineapple, mangoes, oranges etc.
- It can be nerve
racking experience if your toddler is a fussy eater. Do not worry; they will
manage fine on fruit, crackers, toast, pancakes, yogurt, ice cream, French
fries, muffins, hot dogs and pizza; not ideal but it is only for seven
days.
- Bring along a large pack of juice drink boxes, the single serving
applesauce and mini Oreos and mini cereal bars.
- Milk tastes a bit
different in Mexico, so your child may not like it. All-inclusive resorts always
have fresh juices and if you bring your drink boxes you will have those
too.
- Bring along lots of extra baby face cloths as you go through them
very fast. You only get a couple of face cloths in your room.
- If you
are worried about high chairs or other eating surfaces bring along a pack of
bacterial wipes.
- Bring the rubber bath mat from your tub to stop
slipping in the shower/tub at the hotel.
- Bring a large mesh laundry bag
as you will have a fair amount of damp laundry and it can get smelly or moldy.
if you have a balcony keep the bag outside.
-if you don’t have
walky-talkies consider getting a set. It will make your life much easier when
you need to locate each other if one of you is in the room and the other at the
pool etc.
- Bring many more diapers then you think. You would need them
as changes in food bring changes in bowel movements and frequency of
them.
- For fun bring small bucket and shovel for sand and collecting sea
shells, inflatable water toy and some books and items for
in the room, a
portable DVD player and child’s favorite DVDs for the flight and for in the
room.
A small medical kit is very helpful should children become ill when
traveling. The kit should contain medications for illnesses that children
experience at home and for potential travel-related illnesses, and it should
contain the telephone numbers of all the children’s health-care
providers.
You will have a great time, but be warned vacationing with a
toddler is definitely not a relaxing adult vacation.
