trip away this weekend? Taking 4 (including my son) to the land of milk and honey for 2 nights - aware I need to lay out rules on the drive up, but all I can think of is 3:
Rule 1: I always need to know where they are and in detail (Like if they go to an arcade, but move on to play pool, I need to know where the pool table is)
Rule 2: they help tidy up at the end of the trip
Rule 3: no one goes on the beach without me at least knowing.
Is that enough? I don't want to bombard them and simple is best, but am i missing something?

Could you ask that they've always got their location thing turned on their phone?
1 rule, but makes sure you can always track them down if you need to. |  | | |

That's very good - cheers and easy to sort on the journey up.
Edit: i think you've nailed it. That was easy - ta again! [Post edited 11 Nov 9:55]

Rule 5 they can’t wear green and yellow as it just makes them look daft |  |

They're all Arsenal and Spurs fans, so fear not. | |

I would say that they never go out on their own, never go off from the rest on their own, and never leave one of them on their own.
Also, "the land of milk and honey" is Israel. You may also want to check on Foreign and Commonwealth Office advice before you take a bunch of teens there! |  | | |

Actually it’s in the OT as Canaan iirc which is most of the Levant including modern day Israel, Palestine, Jordan and Lebanon etc. Presumably Israel didn’t exist then…..

I’d change the tidying to as they go. They all tidy or no one does anything new until it’s finished otherwise.
Spend 2 mins now instead of ages later etc | |

Thats sound too - ta.
Thanks also ArnoldMoorhen - I'll borrow the 'never leave each other' bit but the genie is well out of the 'don't go anywhere without me' bottle. I'll be in the same village as them, so think its ok. | |
