5 Tips All Families That Travel Should Know

By Randall Cox


When it comes to traveling, safety is a must. A mix of common sense and technology can keep you and your family safe during travel.

Pack correctly. Clothes and sunblock are not the only things you will need. Your cell phone should be charge before you leave home. This will help you to remain connected.

Don't carry a lot of cash. When traveling, it's never a good idea to carry large amounts of cash. Instead, carrying at least one credit card will help to ensure that you are protected against theft. Should your credit card be stolen, you can report it immediately. For this reason, it's important that you carry a list of telephone numbers for your credit card issuer(s) so that you can contact them immediately. This information should be kept separate from your wallet so that it will still be in your possession even if your card is not.

Let someone know where you are going. Tell friends and family where you will be, so that they can get in touch with you if needed. let them know that you will be calling as soon as you arrive. It doesn't hurt to check in once in a while, and maybe leave a contact number where you can be found.

Keep important numbers handy. Anytime you travel, it's important to make a note of local emergency numbers, including hospitals, authorities, taxi services and other businesses that you think may be able to assist you if needed. You can find these numbers online or use a local telephone book upon your arrival.

Do your homework. It is wonderful to explore new places when you travel, but you should always focus on safety. Get a map of the place you will be in. Call a few weeks before you leave on your trip, and they might even send it to you in the mail. It will be very helpful to know where you are going when you get there. Do not venture out to places you know nothing about, and stay away from deserted or dark areas.

If you are mindful of a few basic safety rules, you and your family will have a wonderful vacation.
