Traveling is hard. Traveling with young children is even harder. Now add changing timezones into the mix, and jet lag has the potential to completely ruin a vacation. Before hitting cancel on those travel plans, there are certain assurances you can put in place to make traveling with kids a smoother ride. Keep reading to discover a few tips and cures for jet lag.

What Exactly Is Jet Lag?

So you're changing timezones. Why can't your brain just get the rest of your body on the right schedule? It's not that simple. "Jetlag throws us off both physically and emotionally," shares sleep expert and author of The Compassionate Sleep Solution, Eileen Henry, "Children are like tuning forks to the emotional state of the grownups in charge. When we are in this compromised state, it is difficult to be a strong emotional anchor for our little ones."

Jet lag can leave adults feeling anxious, stressed and cranky. Not the best state of mind for parenting. Additionally, getting sleep as a parent is tough enough. Add in jet lag, and parents are likely to be nearing exhaustion and their breaking point. For some already anxious parents, worrying about the unknown and everything that can or may go wrong, can spike their anxiety.

How to Combat Jet Lag

All it takes is a little planning—both before and during a trip—and surviving jet lag is possible.

Make a Plan

Before setting out, put a plan in place. "On a long flight, go in with a plan—and do your best to stick to it," says Molly Fergus, Vice President and General Manager of TripSavvy.

"To start, consider booking your travel during the daytime if you can, planning to land in the afternoon or evening time if you’re flying," says Erin Leichman, Ph.D., NCSP, "All babies and young children are different, but this might help your little one to adjust to something like a new time zone." Make sure to arrive early for your train, plane or whatever your mode of travel. Getting there on time, prepared, and ready to go, is the first start to a calmer trip. Think the opposite of Home Alone's running through the airport to catch a last-minute flight.

And while you might handle jet lag just fine, children usually have a harder time adjusting. Make a list of your child's daily routine, and consider how it might be interrupted. Start getting your child prepared for the changes by making some small changes at home.

"Avoid jet lag in the first place by shifting your children's schedule in the new place to line up with home," shares Devon Clement is a postpartum doula, newborn care specialist, and baby sleep coach, "For example, a 7 p.m. bedtime in California is 10 p.m. in NYC—just keep them up late, and let them sleep in! Even if you split the difference, you'll have an easier time getting home than if you tried to do 7 p.m. in your new time zone."

Finally, the night before, make sure everyone in the family is packed and gets a good night's sleep. This will help ensure a smoother morning/day of travel. 

On the Journey

Besides arriving early, here's one for the parents: As tempting as it might be, do not over caffeinate! "Just be tired and try to go to sleep at a normal time," says Devon Clement, "Caffeine can make sleep elusive even if you're completely exhausted, and it becomes a vicious cycle of sleep deprivation."

Make sure to have protein-packed snacks on hand for both you and your child. Staying well-fed and hydrated is important for keeping blood sugar level and energy up. Be prepared for possible temper tantrums and have distractions on hand just in case. Here are our top things every parent should have in a carry-on bag and the best hacks for flying with kids.

Once You Arrive

Scope out the sleeping situation. Try and keep your child's sleeping area as similar to the home as possible. "Once you arrive, keep as many routines and schedules, such as sleep times and mealtimes, as consistent as you can," says Dr. Leichman, "This can help your child (and you!) get the best sleep possible. Do the same bedtime routine steps and consider bringing your child’s favorite toy, blanket or bedtime book." Sometimes it helps to bring along a white noise machine in case the hotel or sleeping accommodations are louder than at home. There's a good chance sleep will be a little off, but keeping everything as comfortable as possible will help your child acclimate more easily.

The above also applies to the return home. "The good news is that young children love routine," says Dr. Leichman, "Do your best to get right back into your normal schedules as soon as you can. Think about your child’s bedtime routine and be sure to read your little one her favorite story, or sing a soothing song that is normally in her routine."

There are two things every family wants out of a vacation: to have fun and make lasting memories. From jet-ski rentals and parasail operators on the beach to family fun parks, mini golf and pirate cruises when you’re ready to dust off the sand, Panama City Beach is family fun central—and is a great locale for a family vacation they’ll never forget. Keep reading for everything you need to know about a family trip to Panama City Beach, Florida.

In Water & On Sand

S. Massey

Families who long to get out on the water have dozens of options to explore, but our favorites include the Sea Dragon Pirate Cruise, where you'll have the opportunity to sword fight, search for treasure and sight various sea creatures along the way, and Island Time Sailing Excursion to Shell Island, where you'll see dolphin by the dozen, paddleboard, play games on deck and dance.

With sugar white sand and gentle turquoise waves, the Gulf of Mexico is paradise for families looking for a doable beach with littles. However, if you want to add a little excitement to your time in the sand, you don't have to look far. Sunshine Water Sports of Panama City offers 30-min jet ski rentals, 1-hour jet ski rentals and the even jet ski dolphin tours in Panama City Beach. And for the true thrill seeker, try soaring through the air in a parasail chute.

On Land

If you strike out on the weather, or if perhaps your family just enjoys taking a break from the sun, Panama City Beach is full of fun options. Check out over 400 bizarre exhibits at Ripley's Believe It or Not! Odditorium, get your hands dirty with over 100 exhibits at WonderWorks—an amusement park for the mind filled with puzzles, mazes, and exhibits on natural wonders—or try your luck at an 18-hole miniature golf course, the SkyTrail & SkyTykes ropes course, zip-line, and SkyWheel Observation Wheel, all at SkyWheel PCB.

When You're Hungry

S. Massey

Panama City Beach's laid-back vibe means you can take your kid practically anywhere. For a true beach shack experience, check out Schooner's, which sits on the beach and provides the perfect way to keep your littles busy while the kitchen works on your order. Even our 7-year old loved the sauteed crab claws, which were served in a bowl with garlic butter. And don't miss the ceremonial cannon blast at sunset! For a finer dining experience—still casual, but an elevated menu and tablecloths—try the Grand Marlin, and be sure to start with the fried lobster bites and end with either the key lime pie or a chocolate lava cake. And for the freshest lunch on the beach, head to Finns Island Style Grub, where you might never walk away from the original fish tacos.

Where to Stay & When to Go

Lodging options in all price points abound in PCB. If you prefer a quiet beach, book a room on the opposite side of the bay near St. Andrew’s State Park—you'll still be able to get to all the attractions in PCB that you won't want to miss. If you're looking for nonstop action, The Holiday Inn Beach Resort—with a lazy river, splash pad, pool and on-site games for families including hula hoop hopscotch, sand art and beach limbo—might be your speed.

Panama City Beach is fun no matter the season, and families looking for a beach vacation that goes beyond the beach will find something exciting to keep them busy. PCB also plays host to numerous regional festivals, so be sure to take a peek at the event calendar before you plan you trip if you're looking to avoid a busy weekend.

This Sugary Dream Is Your New Summer Go-To Treat from Sam’s Club

It doesn’t get better than miles of pristine beaches, happy sand-castle building kids and a great book in your hand. (Okay, reading may be a fantasy depending on the age of your children, but a parent can dream, #amiright?). For a much-needed break from the daily grind, plan a family vacation to Panama City Beach. This gorgeous waterfront town in Northwest Florida will make you forget your to-do list even exists. We bet you’re already feeling relaxed…

Keep reading for 10 reasons to plan a family beach trip to this beloved spot in the Sunshine State, and find everything you need to plan the perfect trip at VisitPanamaCityBeach.com!

1. 27 Miles of Beaches

There are nearly a hundred public access points along Panama City Beach. Wherever you choose to hop the waves and feel the sugar-white sand between your toes, there are a variety of experiences to be had down the Emerald Coast. Set up your umbrella at the center of the action, choose a quieter locale or even bring your pup to the Dog Beach at Russell-Fields Pier. St. Andrews State Park, located on a peninsula at the far eastern edge of Panama City Beach, is always a family favorite for beachy adventures.

2. You Will Never Hear the Words "I'm Bored:

Swim with playful dolphins, slice through the waves on jet skis, take in a new perspective via parasail, snorkel by the jetties, scuba alongside shipwrecks, perfect those paddleboard techniques, tour the area by pontoon boat or bike… The list goes on and on... Get more details on all of the top activities for thrill-seeking families! 

3. Eco-Adventure Awaits

Whether you’re into nature photography, hiking, kayaking, beachcombing or off-road biking, there are tons of ecologically responsible outings in protected conservation areas. St. Andrew’s State Park has gorgeous trails that wind through coastal plant communities (a prime spot for bird and wildlife-watching!). Gayle's Trails connect Frank Brown Park to Panama City Beach Conservation Park, where boardwalks cross cypress swamps. And be sure to visit Camp Helen State park to explore coastal dunes, salt marshes and freshwater wetlands.

Ready to plan your trip? Get started at VisitPanamaCityBeach.com.

4. Going Off the Grid Is Easy

Head to Shell Island, a seven-mile long undeveloped barrier island known for its natural beauty. Keep your eyes peeled for deer, shorebirds and coastal creatures like ghost crabs, green sea turtles and loggerhead sea turtles. It’s a (beachy) breeze to get there by boat rental and tour boats, including the Shell Island Shuttle which runs between St. Andrews State Park and the island. Heads up: there are no concession stands, restrooms, picnic tables, trash bins or pavilions. So come prepared with snacks, water and garbage bags to take the trash out with you when you leave. 

5. There's a Perfect Place to Stay

Every family has different needs on a vacation. Good thing there are over 16,000 accommodations to choose from in PCB. There are resorts, hotels, motels, condos, beach house rentals, campgrounds and RV parks galore. Filter the options and search by location and amenities here. 

6. The Food Scene Is Awesome

There’s a cuisine for every crew. While Panama City Beach is known for fresh local seafood, the barbecue, Cajun fare and traditional American food is top-notch, too. You’ll be hooked on the fish tacos at Hook’d and the beach view at Schooner’s is best enjoyed with a grouper sandwich. Take in stunning marina views at Capt. Anderson’s Restaurant. Bring the kids to a casual restaurant with live music for a relaxing evening out. Catch up with pirates and mermaids at Sisters of the Sea during a dining experience. Or even whip up your own feast with a fresh daily catch from one of the many seafood markets. 

7. Two Words: Beach Sunset

This is the most peaceful, serene way to wind down and experience all the beauty PCP has to offer. From the Skywheel to your favorite restaurant’s deck… these are some photo-worthy spots to soak in the stunning Panama City Beach sunset. 

8. Dolphins, Dolphins, and More Dolphins

A large population of bottlenose dolphins call Panama City Beach home. And you can easily spot these charismatic creatures swimming and playing around their natural habitat almost everywhere you look. The jetties at St. Andrews State Park is a dolphin-watching hotspot. Book a small boat or jet-ski tour for up-close, amazing encounters your family will never forget. You’ll also catch glimpses of stingray, seahorses, sea turtles and sand dollars when you snorkel! 

9. There’s a Variety of Kid-Approved Attractions

Jumping the waves keeps your kiddos busy for hours… and so can these other attractions. Play a round of mini golf at Barnacle Bay. Splash your way through Shipwreck Island’s water slides designed for all ages. Catch educational animal shows and exhibits at Gulf World Marine Park. Between the beach and the entertainment, everyone will rest easy at the end of the day.

10. Getting There Is Convenient

Many people drive to Panama City Beach from all across the South and Midwest. For those flying into town, the Panama City Beach airport is only about 15 minutes from area beaches. So pack swimsuits in your carry-on bags… because you can dip your toes in the turquoise water soon after you land.
