subject: 9 top Ten Things To Take On Luxury Family Holidays [print this page] When packing for your luxury family holidays, sometimes even the most prepared people leave something off their list. There is nothing more frustrating than arriving on holiday and realising you have left something simple at home. Therefore weve put together a list of 10 things you shouldnt leave home without and while some of these items may seem plainly obvious, almost all of us have forgotten something once before.
Address Book
While you are living it up in style on your luxury family holidays, you are bound to want to let your friends and family know what they are missing out on. Ensure you bring your address book with you, so you can send a few postcards back to your jealous friends and family.
Mp3 Player
Whether you want a break from the children or you need to give the kids something to keep them occupied during a plane delay or long drive, a trusty Mp3 player is an indispensible item to have with you on luxury family holidays.
Medicines
Whether it is prescription medicine you regularly take or simply some cold and flu tablets, on your luxury family holidays ensure you have them with you. There is nothing worse than trying to explain through a language barrier what medicine you need in a foreign pharmacy, when if you simply popped a box of paracetamol in you bags before you left, you would save a lot of time, frustration and probably money too!
Map
When you are heading into unchartered territory, especially if you have never been there before, a map of the city can be a lifesaver. Whether you are disorientated out sightseeing, or you are simply trying to find the quickest route to your hotel, a pocket sized city map should always be in your luggage.
Camera
It may seem stupid, but it is surprising how many people forget to take their camera with them on luxury family holidays. These are the times when you are likely to create some long lasting memories with your loved ones so ensure you have something with you to document all of the happy faces.
Warm Clothing
We all know how unpredictable the weather can be and it doesnt matter whether you are heading to Europe, the Americas or the Far East, a warm jumper or tracksuit for those chilly nights is a must.
Sun cream
Whether you are going to a hot or cold climate, sun cream should always been in your bag as the sun can be harmful no matter what the temperature is. There would be nothing worse than being burnt to a crisp on the first day of you luxury family holidays, and then spending the next week hiding in the shade looking and felling like a beetroot.
Sunglasses
While you are posing for photos with your family, or simply out on a sunny day sightseeing, it is very uncomfortable constantly squinting. Save yourself the time and money of buying a new pair and pop your sunglasses on your head as you leave home.
Passports
Something that could put a stop to your luxury family holidays before they even begin is if you forget your passports. Ensure you have the whole familys documentation before you leave home as you wont even be allowed to leave the country without them.
Book
Finally, for those days when the kids are preoccupied, the sun is shining and all you want to do is simply sit back and relax, there is nothing better than a good book to keep you company.
