Travel is always exciting. With the proper planning, you could have a great time and have some great stories to tell. Double check to ensure that you have everything you need, including passports and such, before heading out the door.
If traveling by air, it is important to think ahead of time. Most airports are close to major urban areas, making them difficult to get to at busy times of day, like rush hour. You should have your suitcase packed the day before you leave, so on the day of your trip you are totally ready to go. Before your travel day, make sure all of your preparations are taken care of. With good preparation, you are sure to make your flight and not have to worry about missing it.
Make a packing list. You should make this list around a week to a couple months in advance so that you absolutely know what needs to be packed. Even last minute packing won't be as stressful, when you have a list to reference. It will also take the panic out of forgetting anything.
Choosing an aisle seat keeps options open. The seat with a view leaves you trapped and at the mercy of the consideration of those next to you while the aisle seat allows you the freedom to move unrestricted for whatever action you need to take.
Be wary of people who tell you that they are police offers or government officials when you are traveling in a strange city. Do not give anyone your actual passport. If they want you to come with them to a police station, make sure that you walk there. Do not get rides with strangers.
Are you concerned about the safety of the hotel you are staying at? Take along a doorstop. These little wedges are generally used to keep doors open, but they can hold doors closed, too.
Look for a hotel that offers free parking and stay the night before leaving from a port city, on a cruise. You may want to contact the hotel administration about potential deals that they offer on parking even if it doesn't look like any are available.
Travel is often very rewarding if you understand how to do it well, and you do now. Remember this advice to make sure your trip goes as smoothly as possible. Relax and enjoy your wonderful experience ahead! The world is like an oyster. Go and break it open!
