There are thousands of travel guides out there, meaning finding good advice can be hard. The information you're about to read, however, is selected to pinpoint many aspects of travel planning that are essential to you having an enjoyable experience.
Make a packing list. Your list should be made well in advance (7-30 days) and should include all of your necessities. This will keep you away from chaos no matter how late you pack.
When planning a trip, select your digital camera with the needs of your trip in mind. If you are going on an outdoor trip, for instance, a camera with a rechargeable battery probably won't work for you. You want a camera you can turn off and on quickly and that focuses fast.
Let your family access your travel itinerary. Then they'll know where you are. You should also contact that person regularly. If they hear from you regularly and know your location at all times, there won't be any reason to worry.
If you are planning foreign travel, be prepared for emergencies, like possibly losing your U.S. passport. The United States Dept. of State has a website at usembassy.state.gov that has contact information fro the US Embassy our consulate in foreign country of your destination. Take this documentation on vacation. You will get a replacement in a few days.
Cash in your traveler's checks before shopping or dining. Though lots of places will accept the checks, it can be a hassle. You may get shorted when you use them. Instead, have them converted to local currency previous to shopping.
Companies that rent cars typically require renters to be at least 18 years old. However, some require them to be at least 25 years old. If you're under that age, you may need to pay a higher rate with a credit card. Certain laws prohibit seniors from renting a car. Inquire about age limits when renting a car.
Many people experience jet lag when traveling to faraway destinations. While it cannot be avoided, getting extra sleep in the days leading up to the flight can help to lessen the effects. Try to rest as much as possible while on the plane.
If you often find yourself forgetting items in your hotel, write yourself a reminder on your bathroom mirror using a dry-erase marker. It is easy to lose a note that you have written on a sheet of paper, but it is difficult to ignore something written on the mirror. You will be able to easily remove the note with a tissue, making it easy to clean up.
Now that you have selected your dream trip and have a packing list, you can relax and fantasize about your destination. Pack a passport and bags, rest, and prepare to go on the best trip.
