Brandon's Top Travel Tips for Kids:

1. Learn about where you are going before you go.

EXAMPLE: Read a travel guide, search the internet, talk to a relative or
friend about their experiences there). Everyone wins when they are invested
in trip.

2. Bring a friend...

EXAMPLE: Bring your best friend...if they can't go, bring your favorite
stuffed animal friend. Stuffed animals love to travel too!

3. Take a camera!

EXAMPLE: Take pictures of your favorite sites, stuffed animal and things
you can't see at home.

4. Bring a small backpack

EXAMPLE: Bring a small backpack so you can carry your camera, stuffed
animal, travel guide, area map and any souvenirs you buy.

5. Carry snacks...candy bar, string cheese, gummy bears, granola bars, etc.

EXAMPLE/BACKGROUND: You never know when you are going to get hungry and
sometimes food is not always available, especially on an airplane.
