Pack Emergency Meals

If you are traveling with kids, be sure to leave some room in your checked suitcase for food that can be prepared without having to hit a restaurant when everyone is exhausted, eat fast food, or make that late night stop at the grocery store. Foods such as instant oatmeal, individual apple sauce packs, or macaroni and cheese (with the squeeze cheese packets) are ideal because they only require little to no preparation. Now you can relax knowing you won’t have a food emergency. You can also put these in a purse or backpack during your vacation so you have instant meals kids eat.
