Are you knowledgeable when it comes to travel? Have you traveled enough to have developed a personal system or organizational plan for traveling? Do you want to do your best to make it better? Would you survive if an emergency came up? These are just some of the questions you might be able to answer better after reviewing the following travel advice.
It is important for you to be conscientious of food allergies when you travel to foreign lands. If your food allergy is particularly bad, make sure to express this in their language. Doing this, you can tell restaurants what foods you can’t eat or at least be able to tell medical professionals what’s wrong.
Pack a door stopper to use when traveling. Some areas just aren’t that safe. If your hotel room door is lacking an adequate lock, you can use a wedge-shaped doorstop to hold it in place.
When visiting foreign countries, be careful of which taxis you choose. Make sure the taxi actually is legitimate before getting in. Any person can throw a “taxi” label on a vehicle, meaning you may have no idea who they are or where you will end up.
If, to get to your cruise travel port, you need to drive your car into a city, consider arriving the day before and finding a hotel with free parking. Ask the hotel’s staff when it comes to parking deals even though none are published.
Alarm Clock
When shopping for the lowest price on a flight, make sure to check each airline’s official website. Travelocity and similar websites aren’t the only place to find deals on airfares.
Check your alarm clock in your room after you arrive at your hotel. The worst thing that could happen is to be startled by an alarm clock when you’re fast asleep that a previous guest had set to early. Be sure to set this for whatever time you feel is comfortable to wake up at.
Check out airline websites for great deals. Yes, Booking Buddy and Expedia claim to have cheap flights, but by ignoring the official airline’s websites, you can miss out on some better deals.
Use melted hotel ice to get filtered water for your morning coffee. Rather than drinking bad-tasting tap water, get a bucket, fill it with ice, and let it melt as you sleep. Upon waking in the morning, your water will be ready to go.
Too often, we carry half of our home belongings along with us when we travel. To make sure you aren’t taking too many things from home, only take what is absolutely necessary and that includes toiletries. Make a short list of toiletries you use daily and are truly needed. Pack the most important ones for you and keep it simple.
Do you have the knowledge you need to travel? Have you been able to create a new or better plan? Have you thought of ways to increase the quality of your travel plans even though you are on a budget? Do you know what you will do in the case of an emergency? With the tips above, you should have better answers to questions like these.
