one for the hotel and restaurants and one for the trip home. Go for disposable but activity-rich activities like colouring-in and ‘stickering’… and only bring out one activity at a time. Never show your full hand!
We’re a jet setting family of four sharing our adventures and travel tips on our blog. As a mum of two active boys FAM(8 & 6), T I’m always looking for things to do that will keep themILout IE KSEM C I of trouble! AG T

Why have you made travelling a priority?
For us, it’s a way of life. We’ve got the bug and now we can’t stop! It also helps that Mr Jetsetting Kids travels quite a bit for work.
How do you afford to travel?
Points, points and more points. We pay for everything on credit card. We pool our points through to Westpac’s Altitude Rewards program and then redeem them with our preferred airlines. We also live by the saying ‘experiences over things’ – so we try to spend only on the things we really need.
Where is your favourite family holiday and why? We have become huge fans of cruise life - last year we went on four cruises. On board kids clubs and activities give you that instant holiday feeling.
When travelling, no parent should be without... Activities for your kids. Pack a busy bag for the plane,
