We are going to an all inclusive resort in Cancun with our one year old twins, this will be our first time flying with them (2 hour flight) and their longest stay away from home (5 nights). We booked two aisle seats across from each other.

In general I’m feeling pretty good about the trip but looking for some help/ideas on the below areas. Also open to some general tips for traveling with twins of this age! for reference, they are not walking yet.

1. Bottled water - they are still on formula bottles. Will the resort bottled water do or would it be best to stop at a grocery store for some gallons of distilled water?

2. best distractions and entertainment for the plane ride? They have not had screens before FYI.

3. Food. My girls eat 3 meals a day. Breakfast is always cereal oatmeal/yogurt. Their lunch is primarily a puree + some solids. Dinner is full solid table food. Should I pack purées for their lunch or the pack the cereal? I know the resort buffet will probably help out with oatmeal and yogurt. Thoughts?

Help! Looking to plan a 1st bday party for my twins in August. I have roughly 30 adults and 15 kid/babies RSVPd so far. Two options:

option 1: (My original plan) I rented my family an airbnb where the host has already agreed to allow a party. The living room/kitchen area isn’t huge but there is a big backyard with lots of shade and I would rent a small bounce house for the kids. Pros: I can set up the night before and not have the stress of hauling everything off the moment the party ends. Cons: smaller space, more expansive.

option 2: some sort of brewery or event space where people can more easily come and go/ more room in general. this would also be less expensive - people can buy their own drinks/ food.

Looking for recommendations for option 2 with some AC options!

what are yalls thoughts?? I’m not against spending the money but I just want to make sure the space will work.
