Traveling with Kids

I will be going to Thailand for holiday with my family in coming months later. Sure bring my son go as well. If not I will very miss him! This is the 1st time to bring him for travel overseas. Feeling… quite excited but a bit worry too! Why??? Have to plan well and take cares him during traveling. Not easy man!!!!

I also have to check many areas for me to organize my traveling… feel much more different than last time. Because last time I only go with husband, just pack our clothes and travel that’s all! Now, much much more different lor!! With a single kid also not that easy and some more bring him for travel! How brave am I? Haha!!

Now, I feel more confident since my little boy can walk already, and he can walk very fast one leh! Can say more easy job already for taking care him because he can walk by himself and I no need to carry him all the time. I just worry on the foods and drink part. Must prepare some bb foods and drink to go as well for standby if not will suffer also!

Hepatitis A
I will bring my son for injection of Hepatitis A before traveling which had consulted by doctor. Doctor has advised me that better jab in advance since we bring him for overseas, because we are not sure whether all the outside foods or drinks are clean so better jab before travel.
