VRBO/Hotel/AirBNB Safety– I noticed in alot of the listings, most items included, smoke alarm, etc. but rarely do I see a carbon monoxide alarm listed. For my safety and my family, I carry a small CO alarm I purchased from Amazon. Yes, it stinks to carry but I can sleep better at night in my destination, so, it’s worth it.

Passport Helpers-For quicker security and immigration access to your passports, take a look at this passport holder for 4 passports and labeling device to help tell you between passports.
An extra bag– When I was traveling in Rome, I loved carrying non important items in this backpack. Was easy to carry, light, and packable in your luggage until you get to your destination.
Plane Travel-For ease of taking out what you need on the plane and quickly returning it to your bag, these smaller bags work well for earbuds, a chapstick, pens, tissues, alcohol wipes, etc. Great for kids toys and coloring supplies as well!
Easy reader-Travel lighter with a Kindle. Carry all your books with you! Decide what to read when you get there.
Travel TV– Bring a TV streaming device with you to your vacation spot. Important: Set up all channels and sign into all accounts before you go, will make the process easier when you get there. Was really great for my husbands sports channels, especially regional channels that are not available elsewhere. Great for the kids too.

Have goggles, will travel– I pack my goggles and my kids goggles in a small hard shell plastic case. Why? The case protects the goggles from scratches and getting crushed in the luggage. Another benefit to have a hard shell case. Laundry detergent. I pack all my detergent pods in this case with the goggles, have not had one pop yet, I do place them in a sandwich bag first, then hard case. Extra protection for the trip. (NOT CHILD SAFE) Ready to swim AND do laundry. LOL.

A great tip I discovered to keep toddlers/kids busy in an airplane. Painter’s tape! Yes! Not too sticky, can be ripped to size, can be put on the plane windows, and can be cleaned up easy. Anything to keep the kid busy for a few minutes, hopefully hours! Try it out!
