Destination: Vacation US

How to survive a road trip with kids? I personally pack two backpacks: one with my essential (bottle of water, some snacks, painkillers etc AND for kids couple dispers and wet wipes in hand). Other backpack is kids: snacks, milk/juicebottles, tablet with prepaid simcard, diapers, couple of small toys and something to do and this backpack will be opened when everything else is tried. Remember also on long trips breaks with kids pace! #travelingwithkids #traveltips #roadtripwithkids #wecandothis (paikassa South Lake Tahoe, California)

Our Frugality and nature friendly tip on traveling: when on the road and staying in hotels and motels, don’t open a new soap in every place. Just get yourself a box where you can keep a used one and you save those used soaps getting to landfill. Not every hotel recycles them, un like #cleantheworld (We also collect these soaps we are not using in the hotels and bring them home with us. Can’t remember the last time we bought a soap to our bathroom 😄) http://www.travelandleisure.com/hotels-resorts/hotel-room-soap #recycle #reuse #nolandfill #savenature #eco (paikassa Ashland Rodeway Inn)

When we first checked in on #thomascookairlinesscandinavia we were pretty upset noticing that we were on different benchrows (23A and 24A). When we noticed it was also window seat for both, we were little bit more upset ”this is the worst idea ever!” But when we talked to the cabin crew they said it was booked so that nobody else would come next to us because the window seat was taken. WOW!! That means that for us four, two adults and one 4 months old and one 1year8months, we had teo whole bench rows to our use. And we really used the whole space, thanks to our toddler who wasn’t the best possible traveller. We have seen couple of times this ”parents in different rows” when we travelled with @scandinavianairline to States and back and the end result was that there were someone strainger next to us both (thank you for these other passangers they have switched places with us when they have seen the situation). we were so sure that this was same kind of disaster as were those placings but we were wrong! I’m super happy that we flew with @thomascookairlines #customerexperience #positiveexperiences #customerservice #travelingwithtoddlers #travelingwithbaby #destinationvacationus #turkuairport #laspalmas (paikassa Las Palmas de Gran Canaria)

Finally made it to visit: Kalev Chocolate Factory Shop. Open Monday to Friday. Note to myself: looks like prices are not including a tax #quitesurprisedatthecashline #kalev @kalev_chocolate #chocolatefactory #candyfactory @visitestonia @kalevikiusatus (paikassa Kalevi Magusamaailm)

Breakfast little bit saved the experience in Pirita Spa. Breakfast was quite versatile and everyone found something to eat. I recommend rice porridge! #piritaspa @piritaspa #breakfast #hotelrates #kidfriendly #travelingwithkids @visittallinn (paikassa Pirita Spa Hotel)

I'm sorry but now I have to give harsh feedback! In short: I don't recommend Pirita SPA to kid families! Our room is A142. Sounds good, first floor sounds like easy access. WRONG! A stands for "A miles Away!" 142 is in first floor but when you primary level is second, you have to switch floors. That wouldn't be a problemif you have an elevator. Pirita SPA doesn't have elevator, they have design staircase. I'm sorry howI say this next but HOW THE "DUCK" YOU PUT FAMILY ROOMS ON THE FLOOR WHERE YOU CAN'T GET IN BY ELEVATOR!!! We have two children: 1,5 years and 2,5 months. The freaking hallway is so long that youneed strallers for the toddler, not to speak for the baby but you have to carry the strallers by hand downstairs. Not to mention all you luggages and with small children you have to have some luggages! I'm sorry but its a #notrecommended for me #childfriendliness #kidfriendly (paikassa Pirita Spa Hotel)

Very kid friendly hotel what exceeded my expectations with child friendliness. Douglas recieved complimentary crayons, temporary tattoos, post card and, best of the all, soap bubbles. Room was quite and cool and our kids slept longer than at home. Breakfast was decent. It looked bigger selection than it actually was but still we found something to eat. Over all, quite OK for kid families. #recommended for "average travel budget" families. @royalvaasa @visitvaasa #travellingtoddler #travellingbaby #hotelrater #breakfast #babysleep @sokoshotels #kidapproved #kidfriendly (paikassa Original Sokos Hotel Royal Vaasa)
