"When I was younger, I think traveling was in and out - I was just like, OK, just get to the airport, get on the plane. I was kind of rushing through it. Having kids has made me sort of remember that a lot of things I do with my boys, it's the first time they're actually experiencing something, so I want to make it as enjoyable and exciting as possible."
"I've always been quite type A. I'm an over-packer. I overanalyze. I've already thought about all the things that can go wrong. I check for my ID and passport 17 times. I think now it's just even more so. But the interesting thing is, since having kids, I've actually learned to enjoy the travel experience more."
"I forgot that. I've actually spent more time at the airport with kids, which is really weird because I know people are like, "Don't do that." But I just want my boys to enjoy traveling because traveling is so much fun."
Brenda Song balances acting projects with family life and frequently travels with partner Macaulay Culkin and their two young sons. She partnered with Citi and American Airlines on the Citi/AAdvantage Globe card to earn AAdvantage miles and Loyalty Points. Song describes herself as type A and an over-packer who double- and triple-checks IDs and passports. Since becoming a mother she has learned to slow down and savor travel, prioritizing her boys' first-time experiences and making airport time enjoyable. She intentionally spends more time at the airport with her children so they can enjoy traveling.
