How to have a great vacation? |

While travel and vacations are great moments in our lives, they can easily get spoiled if something goes wrong. On a trip to London with my girlfriend a few years ago, she lost her passport and wallet with money and credit cards in a busy area at night. We faced a lot of inconvenience getting everything in order and while we tried to be as cheerful as we could, it was not easy. AP9 SimpleEscapes offers some excellent tips to have a great vacation:
- Let 'em know where, when and how. Having a well-organized itinerary is not only good for the traveler, it also makes things easier on
 business associates and family members alike. If plans take you out of town, make sure that everyone who needs to know how to reach you, from bosses to relatives and friends, can do so quickly and easily. - Look the part. Make sure the right clothes make the trip. If your travels lead to areas that can provide decidedly "unpredictable" weather conditions, check the weather forecast regularly in advance. There's nothing worse than boiling in winter and/or freezing in summer. Just ask Mark Twain.
- The "IDs" have it. Right or wrong, today's world requires well-documented identification all the time. When traveling by plane, for example, even the most trustworthy-looking of travelers won't be allowed through airport security without proper ID. Check and double-check driver's licenses, passports and all other relevant documents that prove you're you.
- Comply with doctor's orders. If a trip is imminent, make sure any needed
prescription medications make it into the suitcase. In fact, bring more than just a few days' supply. As for non-prescription stuff, it can't hurt to bring along sundries such as cold medicine, aspirin and maybe even Pepto-Bismol or Alka-Seltzer. - Map it like Magellan. Modern travelers clearly have a leg up on history's seminal world circumnavigator. Where he relied only on instinct and a sea-faring soul, by contrast, the modern explorer has access to online mapping software, Global Positioning Systems (GPSs) and local maps for sale at every corner convenience store. Bring along these modern travel tools and save on headaches in the bargain.
