Tips: Holiday Travel

By Jenner R Sanderson


A great travel tip that's often overlooked is to pack toilet paper with you when you're going on a road trip. You never know how far the next rest stop will be or if someone in your group needs to use the bathroom right away. It never hurts to be prepared.

When traveling, avoid crowded places where pickpockets might frequent. This includes subways, elevators, train stations, tourism attractions, market festivals, and poor neighborhoods. If you are forced to visit one of these places, make sure your valuables are secured in inside pockets or a bag with a shoulder strap, and check them frequently.

Try to leave your daily schedule a little bit open so you don't feel a strong pressure on each day. You will probably find many things there that you will want to do and by leaving yourself this flexibility you will be able to see and do all of the things that you want.

Every traveler should know by now that joking around isn't the smartest thing to do while waiting in check in and security lines any more. Airport personnel are simply too concerned about terrorism to take jokes lightly. Progress through these lines politely and in a businesslike manner. You're more likely to be treated accordingly.

If you're traveling with a baby and need to sterilize bottles or teething toys, wash them in hot soapy water, then stop up the sink. Heat some water in the hotel's coffee maker (without any coffee or tea in it!) and then pour the water over the bottles or teething toys until they're submerged. Let them sit for about five minutes and you'll have sterilized them!

When traveling, it is usually a good idea to pack your belongings the day before. This way, you can avoid the last-minute stress that causes you to rush out the door with half of your necessary items still left in the house. Save yourself some stress and pack beforehand.

When traveling on vacation with an infant, you will need to carry a load of supplies with you. The best mode of travel, if possible, is to rent a car. This way you can travel with all the things you will need easily. Also, with a baby, consider staying at one place for the majority of the trip. This way, the hassle of lugging all of the essentials a baby needs will be less burdensome.

In conclusion, make certain you are armed with the proper information for your trip and your destinations. Travel will be so much more rewarding if you avoid any negative incidents that could crop up along the way. Preparation and knowledge are key ingredients to having a wonderful travel experience.

One of the growing industries is for the luxury camping holidays. Often using yurts for accommodation they provide an excellent value for money holiday with a touch of luxury. Make sure you look in magazines for discount vouchers before you book!
