Travel is always exciting. Your trip can be stress-free, if you plan properly. Double check to ensure that you have everything you need, including passports and such, before heading out the door.
Make sure you have all essential information in written form when traveling far afield. Include the name and contact information of where you will be staying as well as that of your embassy or consulate in the country you are traveling to. If you find yourself in trouble as you travel, this should be the first place to contact. They have a lot of experience with issues travelers face, and they will help.
Learn the language about food if you are going to a foreign country, so that you can ask servers about ingredients in the food that cause you to have allergic reactions. If you do have food allergies, it is a good idea to learn some words for food in the native language. This will give you the ability to alert your waiter or waitress of the foods that you have an allergy to so that they can be kept out of your meals.
If immunizations are required for any country you are visiting, be sure to carry along proof of vaccination. You never know when you may need it, so it should be on your person at all times. If you fail to present proof of vaccination, you cannot prove to authorities that you are immunized, and you may be detained and quarantined.
If you will be traveling through a smaller airport, check which airlines offer services there. Smaller airports may have charter services that provide advantageous rates.
Look for a hotel that offers free parking and stay the night before leaving from a port city, on a cruise. Ask hotel staff about any parking deals if there aren't any published.
Pack a raincoat when traveling. The weather is unpredictable. A raincoat can also serve as a windbreaker when the weather is cold, and even a bathrobe for your hotel stay.
Travel is so much fun if you know how to plan, and of course now you have tips to help you. Use what you've learned here to ensure your trip is a success. The only thing left for you to do is enjoy a relaxing break from the everyday stress of your life. There is an entire world waiting for you to explore. Open it!
