How to pack wisely for the whole family for winter travel.
On a family vacation there are so many things to pack, so put a strategy in place to cover all the essentials you’ll need. Make sure to pack snacks, diapers, medicine and other items to help you if there are any delays while travelling. It’s important to carry any essentials like medicines in your carry-on just in case.
Breeze through the airport by preparing ahead of time.
Ease pre-travel angst with convenient parking options at the airport. By planning ahead you’ll find the best rates on parking (e.g. did you know CAA Members enjoy special rates at Park ‘N Fly?1). Understand your options ahead of time to ease stress and get to your gate on time.
Not planning to take to the skies? No problem – there is plenty to do at home too. From outdoor ice skating to whizzing down the hills in a toboggan to long winter strolls, there are many healthy and fun ways to enjoy this season.
Make your home your haven.
Kick off your winter boots, curl up in front of a cozy fire, and wrap yourself in warm blankets. After a crisp day of outdoor adventures, the “après outside” phase is a delightful retreat. Dive into a new book, gather around for a board game, or enjoy an old favorite movie. Just don’t forget the hot chocolate. Exploring new recipes, like a rich crockpot hot chocolate or a sweet maple version, can add a special touch. Pinterest is a great resource for discovering these delicious ideas. Embrace the season’s comforts and make your winter nights truly magical.
