A getaway with children doesn’t sound very romantic, but with the right planning and mind-set, romance can still be yours. Here are some suggestions for planning a romantic getaway with the little ones.
* Choose a resort that caters to families. These types of resorts offer activities to help keep the children occupied.
* Inquire about age restrictions.
* Ask about babysitting services. Don’t assume that it’s available.
* Research any health risk that may be of concern to families with children.
* Some resorts have a “no-child” policy; inquire if there are special weeks when families are allowed.
* Pack a backpack with crayons, activity books, handheld games, etc.
* Be sure to bring a portable medicine cabinet with prescriptions for all family members, sunscreen, and various over-the-counter meds. There’s no telling what can happen.
