Trips and Tips
"The world is a book and those who do not travel read only a page." St. Augustine
We've put together a few travel tips that may help you with our next vacation. Most of these suggestions were a result of personal experiences in our 30+ years of travel. Please feel free to contact us with some of your own travel advice.
Accommodation Travel Tips
Does the hotel have a pool . . . indoors or outside? Are there any on-site resturants or snack bars? How about transfer services? These are just some of the questions that you need to research before checking in. Look at a few other tips before your next overnighter.
Air Travel Tips
Travel by air may be the fast and easy way to get from point A to point B, but at the same time can be the most stressful. We would like to share some of our travel advice from past experience as well as a collection of tips from other travel friends.
Auto Travel Tips
Traveling by automobile may be great for some places but not for everywhere. Roads are narrow, parking is an issue and fuel is very expensive outside the United States. Sometimes local transportation may save time and money and you get to see the real world. Read some travel tips on automobile travel.
Cruise Travel Tips
Cruise ships let you see the world from one hotel room and not worry about your dining options. Dollar for dollar this is the ultimate vacation. Read some cruise tips that may help you along your way.
Healthy Travel Tips
Traveling can make it harder to eat right, get regular exercise, manage stress, and get enough sleep. Don’t take a vacation from healthy habits! Here are some travel health tips to help you stay healthy no matter where you are traveling. Remember, if you have any questions or concerns, always ask your doctor or other health professional.
International Travel Tips
The first rule of International Travel is to make sure you have all the proper documents. Remember you may be able to enter your destination country but will you have the proper identification to return home. Another important item is to learn about your destination. Learning just a few basic phrases in the local language makes getting around easier and the local residents will respect you more as a guest.
Kid Travel Tips
Relax and make the travel a fun part of your trip. Take the long ride as an opportunity to spend quality time with your little ones. Give them lots of attention, play games, tell them stories and by the time you're ready to come home they'll be talking about the "best trip ever!"
Pet Travel Tips
It's just not the kids we take on vacation these days but our pets as well. Not all destinations are pet friendly and here are a few tips to help make life easier for Spot.
Security Travel Tips
Travel abroad can be no different than travel at home. Know where you are going and stay away from areas known for trouble. State Department Travel Warnings issues information sheets for every country with information on health conditions, unusual currency or entry requirements, public health problems, and locations of closest US consulate for 204 countries.
Keep a low profile; avoid flashy dress, bags, jewelry, and loud conversations. Here are a few travel security tips to help you along your way.
Travel Light Tips
"What do I need to Pack!" tends to be one of the big questions when planning a vacation. We always recommend to bring as little as possible and travel light. This will not only save you money (luggage fees, porter tips, etc) but save you energy from hauling all that lugagge half way around the world. Here are some travel light suggestions:
