TRAVELLING MOTHERS
PHOTO GALLERY 
While we hear many tales of 'new' fathers in the home, the reality for most businesswomen is that they still take on the lionesses share of childcare considerations. When a businesswoman prepares for travel her planning will generally have to include detailed lists on how her children will be fed, looked after, taken to school, bathed and put to bed. Here's a useful checklist to help businesswomen with families to prepare.

Stick up lists in visible locations: outline your itinerary, leave meal plans, reminders and contact numbers.
Cook some meals for the freezer: you'll feel good knowing they'll be well fed while you are away. Prepare your children beforehand: tell them where you're going, show them on a map and make up a bedtime story about your travels.
Keep in touch: via telephone and email. Consider sending a free e-greeting card.
Make a recording of your voice: read a favourite story.
Hide a treat: finding even a small present left by you will make your children feel good.
Let your children pack something special in your suitcase: they like to know you'll be reminded of them.
Leave a blanket or piece of material with your perfume on it: bedtime will be easier for your children if they have an easy reminder of you.
Take them with you: a significant number of businesswomen choose to take their children with them. Airlines such as Gulf Air offer a sky nanny service that is very popular with women business travellers. The nannies are Norland College-trained and assist during boarding and disembarkation and during the flight leaving parents to eat, work and rest. Many hotels offer family-friendly facilities such as babysitting services, special deals and serviced apartments geared to familys.
