Travelling with small children
Looking back on some of the holidays we had as kids, I wonder at the fortitude of my aunts (we often went on holiday with them as our parents were exceptionally busy during the summer months. When we were small, we usually travelled to our holiday destinations by train. The luggage for two adults and three children must have taken quite some handling. I remember clearly getting my first grown-up suitcase – but I suspect that my aunts must have had quite a hard job hauling suitcases when we were smaller. I recently saw an auction for a trunki – a small suitcase designed with young kids in mind. It would have kept the three of us well amused if this had been around when we were young. I’m going to get one for my niece (she has a two-year old and I am sure he would absolutely love one!)
