19. A swim shirt. These make
applying sun lotion so much easier. The back, shoulders and face burn the
easiest and this takes 2 of those 3 out of play. But they’re not useful just on
hot sunny days. If you’re swimming slightly out of the summer season — or even
at a temperate swimming pool — they help keep some heat in and delay those
chattering teeth for a little longer.
20. A great baby carrier or
backpack. These are life savers in airports, train stations, cobblestone
streets and hotels without elevators. Strollers are something to consider but
if you have a little baby with you, a good carrier is close to a necessity.
21. A fabric high chair.
These wrap around pretty much any type or size of chair and hold the baby in
place so they can sit at the table. (There are many on the market but Totseat
is a good one if you’re looking for names.)
22. A flashlight and a nightlight.
Street lighting might not be as consistent as in your hometown and you’ll
probably have a few nights returning to your hotel down a quiet road or path. A
torch or flashlight can come in very handy. And a nightlight for the
bathroom: Hotel rooms are unfamiliar and finding a bathroom in the middle
of the night can be tricky. If your child — or even you — have to turn on a
light it makes it much more likely they’ll have trouble getting back to sleep.
A stumble over an unfamiliar ledge in a dark bathroom could make for a midnight
visit to the hospital — or at least a lot of tears. A nightlight (with plug
adapter if necessary) can solve these problems.
23.First Aid Tape . This stuff
is great. Adhesive tape that is so much easier to apply than a band aid and
actually sticks to fingers, toes, and the places kids really get cuts
