Summer Travel Essentials for Families On the Go

Sickness can put quite a damper on summer travel plans, which is why it proves smart to plan ahead for its possibility. In the event someone experiences motion sickness in the car, a boat, or ride or attraction, we recommend carrying along Dramamine® Non-Drowsy Naturals. With the latest product from America’s number one over-the-counter treatment of motion sickness, Non-Drowsy Naturals helps prevent and relieve the nausea, dizziness and vomiting, without the drowsy side effects.

The product came to the rescue for me during a four-hour car ride on Fourth of July weekend. The ginger-based product really helped me feel back to normal after stop-and-go traffic brought on nausea, and didn’t slow me down for the festivities I enjoyed later. It is recommended for adults and children ages 12 and up.

Sometimes we pack along our favorite “vacation shoes” – strappy sandals that have been at the back of the closet since last summer. To prevent discomfort, we recommend packing Amope’s GelActiv insoles. These insoles provide so much added comfort and have truly made some shoes that I had deemed intolerable and uncomfortable come back into heavy rotation in my closet! There is a product for virtually every style shoe or condition, from extreme heel to flat shoe insoles, and even products that just add some extra cushion where you need it most, such as the ball of the foot or the heel. Don’t take any chances that you won’t be able to enjoy your fabulous footwear this summer!

For family travel, we love the idea of packing some of Crayola’s on the go products to keep kids entertained in transit or even outdoors!

We love the 64ct Ultimate Washable Chalk Collection ($14.99): This is Crayola’s biggest chalk set ever released and features extraspecial effect sticks like tie dye, glitter and neon, sure to help creative masterpieces sparkle and shine. The numerous colors and special effects will keep kids entertained and creative, which easily wash away with water. For something even more compact, we love Color Wonder on the Go ($6.99): Each portable pack snaps shut for marker storage, allowing for mess-free fun and making it perfect for family vacations and on-the-go kids. Take these in the car, on the plane or train, to grandma’s house – wherever you end up this summer!

If you’re planning a hotel visit, we love the idea of bringing snacks and beverages along with you to avoid having to pay often exorbitant minibar charges. We love the 100-calorie packs of on-the-go snacks or fruit for quick and easy satisfaction for the whole family! If you’re looking to make your own vacation cocktail, pick up some ginger beer and mix with Mount Gay Black Barrel rum. This small-batch rum reminds us of vacation, with its spicy aromas! It’s made and produced in Barbados. Of course, remember to enjoy responsibly!

Happy road-tripping!
