The first time you travel with a young child will be a great adventure for everyone. It not only takes courage to travel with young children but for the most successful venture, it also takes planning. The people that take the time to plan out each day and everything they?ll need for each day, are the people that have the most success and the least stress.
With a young child, you?ll be playing
in the sand rather than tanning on it and you?ll be feeding the seagulls rather than listening to tunes from your headphones. Chances are you?ll be kneeling and squatting often so why not consider it exercise. The best part of all though is that you?ll have the opportunity to discover the small wonders of the world as seen through a child?s eyes ? bubbles at the water?s edge, the smallest seashells seashells, shiny rocks, baby crabs, crunchy dried seaweed and plenty more. These are both the gifts and the delights that come with spending time in a child?s presence.
