Some of the best travel experiences happened when things didn’t go according to plan. It’s often these unpredictable adventures that are the most rewarding and offer an opportunity for the best stories.
Create a Flight Necessities bag
Don’t worry about getting out of your seat to grab items from your stowed away carry on! Bring a small bag with you on your travels just to eliminate these instances. In this bag, pack the items that you will need throughout your entire flight. When you use a small bag, you will be able to access everything you need without leaving your seat. Stow it under the seat in front of you or if small enough, store it in the seat pocket in front of you. Pack items such as gum, necessary medication, water bottle, headphones, and a pillow or blanket if you need them!
eBooks!
Lightweight, easy to pack!If you like to read and haven’t purchased an ebook yet, do so. They are wonderful –easy to use, lightweight and enable one to store numerous books without the extra weight and room that real “books’ require.
Early to bed & Early to Rise
When you arrive at your travel destination, follow Benjamin Franklin’s “early to bed and early to rise” philosophy, set alarm to local time, enjoy a light meal with no caffeine, go to bed early in the evening and awake refreshed, no jet-lag, and ready to enjoy a full day of new scenery, adventures, and tempting cuisines.
Don’t request a non smoking room; request a non smoking floor:
If you have breathing problems or just don’t like the smell, a non smoking room isn’t enough. Smoke can still fill the hallways around your room. Make sure you request a non smoking floor so you are comfortable in all areas of the hotel.
Disinfect:
Bring some disinfecting wipes and wipe down the remote control, light switches, phone and other areas that may have been overlooked by the cleaning staff.
Know the emergency exists:
You never know when there could be an emergency. Make sure you know where the exits are!
Use Mobile Apps!
Before you travel, download city apps on your mobile device for the cities where you will have free time or an extension where much time is on your own. These city apps give museums, historical sites, dining options, and other interesting places to visit. These apps give maps and directions on how to get to the best sites and other information.
Breaking the Language Barrier
You may think the language barrier is a large wall to climb, and it can be, so why not start small? Some important and common phrases you’ll want to know before traveling to a foreign country are: “hello,” “please,” “thank you,” “excuse me,” and “good-bye.” Once you’ve mastered those try: “Food,” ‘hotel,” “airport,” “train,” and “bank.” Although it is estimated that 1.8 billion people in the world can speak some amount of English, we think connecting with the culture and learning a thing or two isn’t so bad!
Learn about where you’ll visit
Rent a travel video or a feature film of your destination; you’ll learn a lot and they’re fun to watch. Libraries can also provide you with a wealth of information. Learning about your destination’s history, culture, government and people before you leave will make your journey more meaningful.
