watch out for the air pressure change in your kids ears(equalize pressure in the ears by pinching nose and blowing)

Or get them to suck a sweet, that usually helps.

Don't worry, it will be as stress free as you make it.....have a great time.

You only hear from the ones, that sometimes have a problem.

You never hear from the thousands who go with there vouchers and don't have a problem

If your worried ring the hotel, and just confirm your booking.

Go away and enjoy your holiday

Once you've taken the plunge and travelled abroad you will want to go again and again & Spain is a good place to start for your first foreign holiday.My children were 7 & 10 on their first trip abroad & I'd never seen them so happy & they loved the children's clubs.

One tip - don't be taken in by the scratchcard/timeshare touts etc.A firm no thanks for a day or 2 will stop them hassling you for the rest of your holiday.

Make your luggage distinctive by attaching ribbons/stickers whatever so you won't miss it on the conveyor.

Above all, relax and enjoy it, it won't be as daunting as you think:beer:
