How do you survive holidays Together?
Pack plenty of distractions for the kids-crayons,games, an iPod-to avoid the "Are we there yet?" syndrome.
Don't be a slave to a schedule, sucking the spontaneity out of your holiday.
While some parts of the trip will interest the whole family, it's only fair to indulge every one's taste.Building in downtime is important when travelling with smaller kids.
Don't view your day as a marathon but a series of shorter events with resets in between.Vacations are an ideal time for the family to bond. So leave the family squabbles behind.

Healthy Way to Fly
Stay-healthy tips (John Balmes, professor of environmental health sciences~University of California, Berkeley) :
Keep Clean
University of California, San Franciso, study reports we're at increased risk of catching cold and flu viruses during flights, due to the close quarters. Wash hands often, and if you're worried, wear a protective mask that's labelled N95. It screens out 95 per cent of airborne particles.
Bring Water
Researchers found bacteria such as E. Coli, know to cause duarhoea and nausea, in the water from galleys and skin in one of every seven planes.
Clear your Earrs
Changes in air pressure can suck the eardrum inward, and that hurts. A decongestant clears nasal passagesso pressure dosen't build up.
Get Up
When you sit for too long, blood pools in the legs and may lead to potentially deadly clots. Wear loose-fitting clothes and walk around the cabin an hour.
