If you have kids on board, you can get hold of a rice cooker and a coil burner to prepare your own food.

Staying In a Room

Luxurious home stays, or hotel rooms, can turn out to be traumatic for you, if there are mosquitoes disturbing your sleep. So take an insect repellant, or a mosquito net, along with you. Go for long sleeved shirts and trousers to avoid mosquito bites. You should also check for bed bugs in your hotel room. Peel the bed sheets, mattress, side table, etc for signs of bed bugs infestation.

Additional tips

Apart from these you can carry

  • Digestive capsules for tummy troubles.
  • Paracetamol and cough syrups for sore throat, fever, headaches etc.
  • Vitamin tablets to tackle cold
  • Creams for sun burn, wounds and cuts; sunhats and sunglasses should also be taken while going out.
  • Good pair of shoes suitable for walking.
  • Enough water or beverages to remain hydrated throughout the trip.

The list to pack is endless and will depend on the family size, location of your holiday, climate etc. So use a bit of common sense when you pack your travel bag. They say travel light, because on a long journey even a straw weighs heavy.

So what are you waiting for? Venture all; and see what fate brings.
