By making business trips into family trips, business can be accomplished and off-time can be spent with family. Not every business trip is suitable to double as a family getaway. Make sure your destination has plenty of entertainment available for all ages. Call your destination's chamber of commerce or visitor's center ahead of time for information on sights and activities available for all ages. If you're attending a conference, find out if the sponsoring organization has a spouse's program.
Many groups arrange for sightseeing and other activities for spouses and, sometimes, children.
Call ahead to order kid's meals. Airlines today can satisfy even the most finicky appetites. Contact your travel agent or airline representative at least 24 hours before your flight to arrange a special meal. Arrive at the airport early. Small travelers aren't used to keeping up to your pace at the airport.
