Let's face it, preparing for vacation can be stressful and chaotic. Have you caught yourself in a rush going over your list on the way to the airport? Did I get the passports out of the safe? I hope our flight is on time, I forgot to check the status. It can be overwhelming as you prepare to get away for some much needed rest & relaxation.
Following some tips from seasoned travelers will help you stay organized and start your trip off on the right foot:
- Make a packing list
- Make photo copies of your passport. Leave one copy behind in a safe place. Pack another in your checked luggage. This serves as a safety net in the event you lose your passport or it is stolen.
- Pack some snacks. That granola bar will save your life when you are in line to get through immigration and it's already been 1 hour.
- Check the status of your flight 24 hours prior to departure.
- Check out 3floz.com for all your carry-on liquid needs. Remember to put them in your quart size Ziploc bag.
- Pack twice as much sunscreen as you think you'll need (it's expensive when you are on the resort).
- Pack extra batteries for your camera. You can't afford to miss out on photo opps!
- Take small bills such as ones and fives to tip.
- Pack some clothes in your carry on luggage. If your checked bag doesn't make it, you can still enjoy yourself.
- Contact your credit card provider to let them know you'll be traveling out of the country and inquire about foreign transaction fees.
- Use your in-room safe for any valuables such as cell phones, iPods, wallets, passports, etc.
- Be flexible.
