Check with your airline too first, with the recent goings-on, to find out what is allowed with regard to hand luggage (No toys, croyons, drinks, baby food/milk (unless you are willing to sample these in front of airport personell))
These guidlines might have been lifted by the time of your holiday, if not bear this in mind, and check with the airline/tour operator/airport before you travel!

- sweets for the plane (to relieve pressure on the ears)
- those little hooded poncho towels are very useful as they act as a cover up as well as a towel!.
-you will easily get nappies over there (ususally pampers) so no need to take millions with you
- may need to take swim nappies/pants if you are taking him into a pool
-the planes I've been on didn't have a changing area - i had to lie my daughter on a bin liner in the aisle - consider taking a fold-up changing mat.!
- no need to over pack - kids clothes are small enough to wash and dry easily in your room - remember to take a detergent suitable for handwashing + pegs.
- DONT let them have ice in their drinks - it may lead to upset tummies as the ice machines are often dirty (as they are in this country!)

i would also take some sunglasses and a u/v hat with neck protection! when we took our daughter of 1 years old her eyes didnt stop running because of the light but we had bought some sunglasses that have a band around the head so that they stay on, got them from blooming marvalous! think they are called baby banz? they were invalueable!
