Travel Tips
So your ready for that next travel vacation? A bit of planning can go a long way to let you have a much more enjoyable vacation!! Since I've spent my whole life travelling I am guilty of quite often doing the "last minute, seat of my pants" travel....but it seems like I never really unpack, so I'm pretty much always ready to travel, although even now, not planning can put a crink in your trip. An example of this is last year on a trip to Mexico, I forgot to pack my battery charger for my digital camera....couldn't buy one, couldn't borrow one....couldn't FIND one....SO, I ended up taking one battery life worth of pictures!! I will try and put together a few things that I have found over the years help make your travels go a bit smoother once you "hit the road".
1)Where to go?
That may sound simple enough, and this is probably the one to worry about the least. The world is waiting for you to discover it, so if you're like me you'll want to travel everywhere and the only thing to really consider here is if you are travelling with someone else....husband, wife, friend etc., make sure you chose a travel destination that has something for them as well. A good example of this is if you are a diver then Truk(Chuuk) in Micronesia is awesome....diving second to none, especially if you're a wreck diver, but for a non-diver this would be one of the least desirable places for a vacation!
2)When to go?
Do a bit of homework for this one....you don't want to pick a travel destination only to find out its monsoon season and they average 6 days of rain a week, or its a certain festival and prices may be greatly inflated or maybe theres an event that you may want to witness....eg. Mardi Gras in New Orleans, whale sharks in Thailand. Doing a bit of research may add just that little extra to make your trip just a little better.
3)What to pack?
Make a list at least a couple of weeks before you go....you will be surprised the little, but important things that you will remember over the days leading up to your trip.
There are things that if you do forget you can buy wherever you go, but there are certain things that you should do/have before you go.
-documents....passport, airline tickets, credit cards, travellers checks, insurance card...***make photocopies of all documents and keep in seperate locations in case of theft or loss.
-Also make sure you leave a copy of your itinary with someone at home incase of an emergency at either end.
-medicines....any medications that you may need on the trip or any shots you may need before you go.
-OVERPACKING....I can't stress this enough, especially if you plan on moving around at all....DO NOT OVERPACK!!! ....you will be miserable. I have found after a lifetime of travel my luggage gets smaller and smaller, and still I find that I don't use everything I take. Packing will depend a lot on what you are doing....any nights out where you may want to dress up?....are the nights cool, or is it always steaming hot?....hiking in the jungle or always at the beach? You can see depending on the travel destination, what you pack can differ greatly. Besides the documents make sure to pack a book to read, sunglasses, sunscreen, toiletries, and about HALF the clothes that your thinking of bringing. If your hanging out on the beach a lot, most of your day will be spent in your swimsuit!!!
4)You're a visitor
Remember you're not at home....respect other countries cultures and embrace the differences and enjoying learning how they live....you'll have a better time and they will also be much more receptive to you....don't be like one guy I met in Vietnam who was pissed off at the people in Vietnam for not speaking english?!?! Also, be careful....some of the greatest travel spots in the world are also places that have a lot of poverty....DON'T flash around a lot of cash or jewelry, besides just being annoying you are also asking to be relieved of your valuables!!!
.....safe and happy travels!!!!
