Travel essentials - your tips please

Recommended Posts

Going to santorini for a week with 18 month old and looking for top tips on what to take from a first aid/medicine/toiletries point of view. Best anti mosquito stuff for babies? Best bite or sting cream? I know we aren't going to the end of the earth but would like to pack for all eventualities!


Whilst i'm at it - anyone got general travel tips, what makes the flight easier, what meals to cook when we are there given our usual failsafes won't be at our fingertips.


All tips gratefully received, first trip abroad as you can tell!

There was a great post from "buggie" (senior paeds nurse) on this, perhaps last year - worth a search.


I also swear by teeny weeny crap but crucially NEW toys (stocking filler type) and kids' magazines for the journey. Do not run out of snacks, water, tissues, plastic bags, wipes or comedy Superhero plasters. Bring a couple of changes of clothes

For the journey I take twice the number of clothes I think I need because everything spills, leaks more than I anticipate and also put each nappy into a nappy disposal bag (not tied) because it's much easier not to take a whole changing bag to toilets. Plus I tape a nappy cream to a pack of nappy wipes. It would be a good idea to buy a bag size tube of Savlon and Sudocreme in Boots.

    • The alternative would be to let them free, to be predated on and without parents to teach them the necessities of survival. Clearly this is an unhelpful model of instruction, but, given the ducklings have been born and will not survive without parental care (unless they are hand reared in the school - which I doubt has the capacity of skill for this) then gassing them is the most 'humane' action. The school should perhaps have thought through what is the likely outcome for ducklings which are not being reared by either skilled farmers or ducks. I suspect that the duckings would not be saleable to farmers having been initially born and raised in circumstances which were not sterile for introduction into larger flocks. 
    • That's a good idea smiley blue , if you or anyone else comes across petitions to end these despicable acts of cruelty to defenceless animals please put on here or start a new thread if you please so we can sign the petition and add our objections to this , I would also like to thank all of you the people for reading these messages and adding your voices to this cruelty,  maybe we can end it 
    • Malumbu, by that measure are police efforts to cut down on anti-social driving by issuing tickets and fines a token effort as well? Surely punitive measures for cyclists breaking the rules will encourage them not to break the rules again? A bit like when you got stopped and taken into the cab of an HGV. The police are currently using that tactic to show those who break the rules cycling that it might lead them to being hit by a lorry due to the driver's having limited vision - the cycling equivalent of a speed awareness course for drivers.    When they stopped you was it because you had broken a rule or was it just more of an education programme and they asked you to take a look and did it change your cycling behaviour in any way? As I said previously there are those who break the rules on cycling out of ignorance (and those out of arrogance) and I am sure they are using HGVs to educate those in the ignorance category and then hitting those in the arrogance category with the PCNs.
