Traveling Tips: Traveling with Children

If you are visiting Belize with children, here some tips that can help you deal with all little details that are really important when traveling with children.

1. Plan ahead: Ask yourself what supplies you will need to have on hand to take care of any normal or special needs for the child.
2. Prepare for possible emergencies: Make sure you are aware of emergency equipment or procedures that would apply to your child.
3. Take all essential items for the children in the luggage: Take enough food, diapers, medicine, and other items to last through possible flight delays and lost luggage. Carrying all the child's essentials with you is especially important if your child is on a special diet or on medication.
4. Keep your children under control at all times: YOU and not the flight or hotels attendants are responsible for supervising your child at all times.
5. Seat your child away from an aisle: Small children enjoy reaching out and exploring, but if they are on the aisle they could get hurt if their little arms get bumped by a person or serving cart passing down the aisle. Ideally, two responsible adults should sit on either side of the child. Also, one can seat the child on a row with a window on one side and a responsible adult on the other.
6. Keep your child belted or in a child restraint system at all times: Flight turbulence or a car crash can happen at any time and without warning, so keep your child belted in as much as possible.
7. Bring along safe toys: Try to avoid bringing along toys that are sharp, heavy, or that break easily but let them bring a safe toy or game which can entertain him or her during the trip.

At Sunbreeze Hotel we love children and that is why we want them to stay totally safety when traveling.

Traveling Tips: What clothes should I take?

Whenever you go to the beach:

1. Coordinate your clothes around one or two basic colors. This cuts down on the number of shoes and accessories you have to bring.

2. Take into account the climate of the place you are visiting, this will help you to do a better selection of the clothes you are taking. If you are visiting Belize, of course, bring fresh clothes and light colors.

3. Take as few clothes as possible. Think about laundering. One person suggested one week's worth of clothes. I take fewer unless they are my washable silks.

4. Wear and carry washable silk clothing whenever possible. It is as warm as and as cool as cotton.

5. Take with you a plastic rain coat.

6. Take older clothes that can be discarded along the way, great for growing children. In many places, local people are pleased to get these castoffs. There are travelers who take nothing but old clothes so they have that much more room for bringing souvenirs home.

7. Jeans - never take them as they take so long to dry. If both the time and money for laundering are concerns, take lighter weight pants.
