Tips
Family Travel #5
Pack individual size packets of mustard, ketchup, mayonnaise, peanut butter, jam. No refrigeration needed.
Family Travel #4
Pack seasonings, herbs and spices in small containers or ziploc bags: salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion flakes, basil/oregano, paprika, instant chicken soup mix, cinnamon. Keep it simple – and be sure to seal the bags well!
Family Travel #3
To be “green” use reusable or recyclable dishes. Consider bringing an unbreakable set of cheap dishes and inexpensive cutlery with you. There are also collapsible storage containers/dishes that pack easily.
Family Travel #2
To save on shlepping, buy paper goods (disposable paper plates, plastic cutlery, glasses, cups, napkins), plastic wrap and foil at the local supermarket or dollar store when you arrive at your destination. You can also buy disposable foil containers for roasting chicken, meats, vegetables, etc.
