[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not always possible, but usually possible from my home city -- I try to leave LATE at night and arrive as late as possible in my international destination so I have access to my accommodations. I really hate that aimless feeling of being jet lagged with nowhere to go. My home airport has flights to London, for example, leaving from ~4 to ~ midnight and not only do I "sleep" better on the flights leaving at midnight but that first day is shorter.

This is all about international (Europe) travel with kids, but in addition to the above I bring one or two of my kids' safe meals (Annies M&C, or similar) as a treat for some day on the trip. We nearly always self cater for most meals so it's a nice break from introducing the kids to suspicious new foods. We also bring a mountain of snacks from home too.  Hungry kids = grumpy kids = bummer of a trip.

I also find [b]kid-friendly activities that aren't classic tourist destinations, like a rec center with a pool, or a locals-focused nature center. These are usually cheaper and less crowded than big destinations, and to a kid might  be just as fun. We had an absolute blast at a pool in London last summer, and at a science center in Norway this winter[/b]. We also regularly hit up local playgrounds. [/quote]

NP. Can you please share how you find these places, and the specific info for the London pool and Norway science center? Both destinations are in our near future! Thank you![/quote]

DP but Cab drivers often give me good recs, as well as vendors of other activities I’m doing earlier on in the trip. You basically need to ask people who live there. [/quote]
