Taking a sleeping pill can make a red-eye flight much easier. It can be very hard to get sleep on a plane with all the noise, the different surroundings, and the uncomfortable seats.

Traveling to very different cultures will show your children what the rest of the world looks like. Viewing the lives of others is an amazing way to build an understanding and tolerance of different cultures.

Make your own soundtrack for your road trip. Radio coverage is not the greatest in some locations. Bringing along your own music can be a fun experience.

Make a list of what you need to pack. You should start this list at least one week in advance, preferably earlier than that. The list should include all of your necessities for the trip. This way, even if you pack the day before you leave, it will be easier and you won't forget any essential items.

If you are going to be traveling for a long period of time, make sure to periodically get up and stretch your legs. Sitting for too long is not only bad for your muscles, but it can cause blood clots.

When traveling, ask for a room located on one of the highest floors possible. Although it might seem inconsequential, burglars can access your room more easily if it's on the first or ground floor. Be sure to also ask for quarters which do not have sliding doors. Rooms with sliding doors are easier to get into.
