Traveling with children!?

Question

I'll be traveling soon with two children ages 9 and 11 by bus long distance, does anyone have any ideas on how to save money and my sanity.

Answer 1

Try http://www.cheap-fun-family-travel.com/i... for ideas on packing light, and things to do with the kids on the trip that really works not the play bingo or  count car stuff, although that will keep them busy for awhile.

Answer 2

Good luck.

If its in the daytime how about a walkman or i pod

whiteboard and marker to play hangman, noughts and crosses

Savenger hunt looking out the window spotting ie signs, red cars,birds,etc.. then the prize is a small chocolate bar.

Are you allowed to take a backpack on the bus with food?

If so, you can make a container of juice put it in the freezer then use it during the day.

Ask your kids what sort of treats they like then buy some from the supermarket so its cheaper for you, then tell them at maybe one stop they are allowed to buy something...

Good luck
