My Next Top 10 Travel Tips
Earlier, I wrote my Top 10 Travel Tips. I had a number of people
offer suggestions, so I thought it was time to write the next Top 10
Travel Tips.
Hope these are helpful!
1. This one is from a friend. Pack with travel cubes – or any other
type of bag within a bag. This helps keep clothes organized and when
security rifles through everything, “things” won’t go flying.
2. Wear shoes that slip on and off easily to the airport – I like Dansko.
3. Drink a glass of water every hour (when the water is safe).
4. This one if from friend…and a little gross. Put a little Vaseline
in your nostrils and a just a little in the corners of your eyes – you
get less dry. I tried it and it works!
5. When making decisions about activities, ask yourself how you’d
feel 5 or 10 years from now about each decision. Do I go to the museum
or do the boat tour? Do I have a fancy dinner or go to a play? Spend an
extra day in Paris or see the countryside? Lie at the beach or site see?
6. This one is also from a friend. He was in Cambodia after traveling
for months. There was a movie theater playing an American movie. He
fully enjoyed the movie and forgot where he was. When he walked out he
had a renewed appreciation for where he was and where he came from.
7. It’s hard to enjoy yourself if you are tired or sore. A quality
memory foam travel pillow is a necessity. You’ll find yourself wearing
it on planes, trains, and long car rides. The
best travel pillows. will
provide full support for your head and neck. Also, more and more
airlines are no longer offering airline pillows.
8. Bring a couple packs of Wet One’s or Handy Wipes. They are useful for hygiene, comfort, and even make-up removal.
9. Save a copy of your itinerary on the Internet. Just email it to yourself.
10. This one is from a friend. If you find yourself trying to sleep
and there is a mosquito in your room, ask the front desk for a fan.
Turns out, mosquito’s hate even a light breeze.
Happy travels!
