Traveling 101

Always be prepared for the unexpected. Always have your passport tucked away on your person and never let it out of sight. A lost or stolen key can end up in an eight-day delay or more in a foreign country before they can replace it. Carry extra money with you and hide it away on your person. Have a list of emergency phone numbers with you at all times, and let a friend know where a copy of your passport and other essential documents is needed.

Have someone lined up to take care of your pets, mail, lawn mowing, repair, and whatever situation may arise while you are gone. Your trusted friend will be at the helm while you are away and enjoying life to its fullest potential.

Plan out your trip and always be prepared for the unexpected.

Plan your trip and list where you want to go and what you must see. Delays may occur on your trip, so allow extra time in your day for delays of all types. Make room reservations, so you don’t have to hunt for a hotel room into the wee hours of the night. I keep a traveling diary of each trip I take as it helps identify pictures and keeps the pleasant memories of my journey alive.

Pack light.

Pack light, as we all tend to pack more than we could ever use. Bring along a small suitcase with wheels that is easy to pull along and maneuvers easily. I also have a small carry-on with me that I put in one set of extra clothes just in case it takes a while for my main suitcase to catch up.

Your hotel room should be to your liking.

Look over your hotel room and ask for a different room if it is not to your liking. If there are not enough towels or you are too cold, do not be afraid to speak up and ask them for the items you need to make your stay enjoyable. The hotel will want to please you if possible because they want happy customers who will tell their friends and family how wonderful their stay was there. Word of mouth can make or break a business, so think twice before you make a rash statement about a company. Did you tell them you had a problem, or did you think they could read your mind somehow?

Unwind and take in all of the sights and sounds.

Please relax and enjoy your vacation to its fullest. Leave your worries behind, unwind, relax, and enjoy the scenery, nature, architecture, and sounds. You may hear cowbells, church bells ringing, the ocean’s pounding waves, and much more. Go to the local museums, concerts, plays, and much more. Ask your hotel concierge what some of the main attractions are in the area where you are staying. He can arrange a cab to take you there and back to your hotel.

Home again.

You are now home again. I unpack my suitcase and put my clothes in the wash. I go through my mail and return to the swing of things again. You will be exhausted by the second day you are home, so take a nap and recover from your trip. I put all my pictures in an album and identified them with my travel diary. I certainly enjoyed my vacation to its whole, and I hope you will you and your family are on your trip of a lifetime.
