Kids lap up the fun in sunny Tenerife…so parents can relax

WE were desperate for some winter sun but with a lively 18-month-old toddler in tow my wife and I felt like our options were limited.

Last year we’d jetted off to the west coast of Florida and Lily slept in a little bassinet, which is like a club-class bed for a baby, for most of the journey.

But she was now very much on her feet and a seven-hour flight just seemed too long for a little girl who won’t sit still for long.

Taking four hours on a plane, Tenerife seemed a much more manageable journey and armed with books, toys, crayons, stickers and downloads of various children’s TV programmes, we all survived the flight.
