Mentally Be Prepared to Do Less!!
This is very important to be flexible and to be ready to have a short itinerary with kids. Take breaks, stay active find more ways to boost your energy and always keep in mind you are not a single traveler who can do all the things he planned to do, now you are with kids who are tired soon, who are stubborn, often cries without reason, who get bored, needs nap times, right? So being flexible and having less expectations can lead you towards a great adventure with little ones.
