So after you take your kids on a plane trip (to Europe for example where said kids become Travel Troopers) – we have some valuable after-travel-tips.
- Jet lag equals one day for every hour of time change (an Air Canada steward told me this). So if you fly to France – it will take about 6 days to get over the jet lag (6 hours difference between Canada and France).
- Have a comfort food ready in the freezer for when you get back. (Homemade pasta sauce was defrosted & fusilli was cooked the night we returned home – on the table in less than 20 minutes).
- Have your Mom, neighbour, friend stock your fridge with essentials. (It’s nice not to have to dash out for milk when you’ve just gotten home).
- Try to get the kids to stay up. (When going to Europe with kids, they want to go to bed at 7pm but wake up at 4am when they get back to Canada)
Also, when you get back from a trip – you have fresh eyes onto the state of your house (good ghandi! We live like THIS?!). Take advantage and spend some time spring cleaning excess toys/stuff.
