How can families prepare for unexpected delays during their travels?

Unexpected delays can be tricky, especially with kids in tow. One of the best preparations is to pack a 'delay kit' filled with snacks, small toys, and activities that can keep kids entertained if you find yourself waiting longer than expected.

• It's also wise to have a flexible itinerary. Allow extra time between activities, especially if you have young children. This way, if a delay happens, you won't feel too rushed when trying to fit everything in.

• Make sure to communicate with your kids about the possibility of delays, so they are mentally prepared. Keeping them informed can help reduce any anxiety and set their expectations for the journey.
