Tips And Advice For Holidays

By Keri T Lambretta


Planning your next vacation or business trip can always be worrisome. In the process you may forget some things that you should keep in mind for a safe and worry free trip. The article below contains some one of a kind advice that you can easily incorporate into your next journey for full success.

When traveling abroad, get an international calling card. These cards provide you with discounted rates on minutes and can be an affordable way to call back home. Using the hotel phone with your credit card can be costly, sometimes to the tune of hundreds of dollars. You will likely find that your cell phone doesn't work either. Plan for the calls you need to make and you will save money.

Plan the things that you are going to pack so you can pack light. You do not have to be without the things that you want to have or that you need. Just try to take the clothing that you can mix and match, so you can have several different outfits, while only taking a limited amount of items with you.

Before you leave, make a playlist of all your favorite songs on a portable music-player. Listening to your favorite songs while you are traveling will make your journey less boring. Make sure you take some noise cancelling headphones with you if you are traveling on noisy public transport.

When traveling, always ask about discounts. If you're a student or a AAA member, ask before purchasing museum or event tickets. Some debit or ATM cards may get you free admission at certain museums. Remember, it doesn't cost a thing to ask, and it may save you something!

If you are traveling overseas, purchase a local newspaper to wrap the souvenirs up in that you buy for family and friends. Foreign newspapers make an interesting and unique wrapping paper for small gifts, especially if the newspaper is in a foreign language. If you know someone that is particularly interested in the country you are visiting, consider buying them a whole newspaper as a souvenir.

Do not take any drinks that are offered to you unless it is served by a restaurant or hotel. They could be laced with drugs or other harmful substances. This is because many locals like to drug tourists or lace their drinks in order to steal from them or take advantage of them.

Business travel can seem overwhelming when you are on a budget. If you know you will be traveling for work often, make sure to have your travel plans done in advance. This will include all payments that need to be made while you are away. Planning ahead will help you to not worry the whole time you are gone.

To save money on baggage fees, you should weigh your baggage before leaving home. You can buy a good luggage scale for less than twenty dollars, and it could help you save big on airline baggage fees. If your bag is over the weight limit at home, it is easy to move things around or take something out, but it is much harder to fix a weight problem once you are already at the airport.

If you are looking for a new way to travel and stay then why not consider 'glamping' for your next vacation or holiday. Suited to families or couple it is an enjoyable way to get out and about.
