1. Keep it simple: The best tip anyone would give you for taking a trip is to always travel light particularly if you are flying to a foreign land. Travelling light means taking as little luggage with you as possible. This is to avoid waiting for too long in the luggage claim area especially if you have kids with you. People have had terrible experiences when they carried too much luggage with them; they either lost their bags or had to spend the whole day searching for them at the airport.
2. Take care of your travel documents: This one again is for those who are going for an international journey. Keeping all your travel documents in one place, usually your backpack or hand carry, is a great idea to save a great deal of time and trouble while travelling. Also make sure you take along a phonebook or address book to have all the important numbers handy in time of need.
3. Pack well for kids: If you have kids travelling with you, it is advisable to make a checklist of all the items you are going to need when it’s time to change their diapers, clean their hands and face, give them something to eat or drink, and keep them busy while the journey is underway. Kids make a lot of mess particularly if you forget to pack up necessary items for them, such as baby wipes and tissues, extra diapers for babies, activity books for older kids, playthings, warm clothes, etc.
4. Don’t forget the cash: It’s always a good idea to keep some extra cash with you while travelling in case of an emergency requirement. Credit cards are good but remember they are not accepted everywhere. If you are travelling to a foreign country, convert your local currency into the currency of that country to save time.
5. Arrive at the airport early: It’s not going to help you if you arrive at the last minute. In fact, you will be running here and there and will be exhausted before the journey has even begun. So, always arrive at the airport early.
6. Protect your health while you’re away: It’s going to be a terrible experience to fall sick while you’re travelling. People may have food allergies they are not aware of or may become a victim of a foreign disease. It is therefore important to get vaccination shots before flying and keep important medications with you like pain killers, flu relievers, cough syrups, and the like.
7. Plan a safe travel: Imagine how dreadful it would be to get into some sort of serious trouble in a foreign land. It is therefore advised to stay as safe as possible. Dress up according to the culture of the country you’re visiting to mix up with the locals. Take care while renting cars, never accept anything from a stranger, don’t fall prey to local deals that appear to be very attractive, and avoid going into strange areas and narrow alleys.
8. Tips for travelling with pets: Animals are just as important as your own kids while you’re travelling. Pack for them according to the duration of your stay and take along anything you’re going to need.
9. Do not pack too many clothes: If you want to enjoy your trip, always take a few clothes with you with matching accessories and shoes. Try to carry only washable clothes and the ones that dry quickly. For children, it’s always best to carry disposable and inexpensive clothes to come back light and easy.
10. Use guidebooks whenever you can: It’s not a good idea getting lost in a foreign country. Particularly if you are travelling to Europe, it is advisable to buy guidebooks of areas you are going to visit to make the best use of your time.
