Fun for Kids and Some Tips for the Road

How to keep your kids engaged on a road trip? One of the best ways, as I learnt from one of my school-days friends is to let the little ones chronicle the journey from their point of view. For instance, we can have them take pictures of all the stops along the way. While the pictures make great souvenirs, this can also keep them busy later in form of a scrapbook.

It's quite easy to leave our worries behind while on vacation. But not beofre you teach the kids some "How To" stuff.

So, at first, we want to teach them
**how to dial “911”
**how to use a cell phone, in case of emergency.

Also, isn't it a great idea to take a few moments after settling into a hotel room to show them how to operate the hotel phone. Also, your tots should know how to contact the front desk, how to get an outside line, and how to call for an ambulance.

Six Unavoidable Items to Pack While We Go, Do You Dare?

Whenever I'm going on a vacation, I never dare to go without packing some items in my baggage. So what are these articles, which I'm so finicky about?

1. Flashlight
This is to illuminate dark places where shady elements could be lurking. I can run it down the window of a parked vehicle and see what lies within. Besides, it could be used to identify others around and help get to safety during a blackout, which is a common phenomenon in most of the developing countries.

2. Portable Smoke detector
For added security in the hotel room.

3. Smoke hood
Although I've never used it, I keep a smoke hood, so that on event of a fire, I can use it. It allows a limited supply of breathable air and keep smoke from burning one's eyes so that we can see better while escaping from a fire.

4. Duct tape
One of the main advantages of a duct tape is that I can use it to seal my hotel room against the intrusion of smoke, the real killer in building fires.

5. Door lock
I always use a portable door lock as an added security device for my hotel room. A cheap rubber doorstop is a also a great substitute for a portable door lock. It's more handy and easier to deploy, too.

6. Cellular telephone
You will agree that a cell phone provides instant access to someone who can send aid.
