Traveling, especially with children, can be taxing, draining and tension filled. It is a situation that many parents dread facing, but in order to enjoy family time together in a setting other than the familiar, it is a necessary task. Preparation for the unexpected, as well as the expected can make the travel to the destination a less fraught battle.
