Earlier, I wrote my Top 10 Travel Tips. I had a number of people offer suggestions, so I thought it was time to write the next Top 10 Travel Tips.
Hope these are helpful!
1. This one is from a friend. Pack with travel cubes - or any other type of bag within a bag. This helps keep clothes organized and when security rifles through everything, "things" won't go flying.
2. Wear shoes that slip on and off easily to the airport - I like Dansko.
3. Drink a glass of water every hour (when the water is safe).
4. This one if from friend…and a little gross. Put a little Vaseline in your nostrils and a just a little in the corners of your eyes - you get less dry. I tried it and it works!
5. When making decisions about activities, ask yourself how you’d feel 5 or 10 years from now about each decision. Do I go to the museum or do the boat tour? Do I have a fancy dinner or go to a play? Spend an extra day in Paris or see the countryside? Lie at the beach or site see?
6. This one is also from a friend. He was in Cambodia after traveling for months. There was a movie theater playing an American movie. He fully enjoyed the movie and forgot where he was. When he walked out he had a renewed appreciation for where he was and where he came from.
7. It’s hard to enjoy yourself if you are tired or sore. A quality memory foam travel pillow is a necessity. You’ll find yourself wearing it on planes, trains, and long car rides. The best travel pillows.
8. Bring a couple packs of Wet One’s or Handy Wipes. They are useful for hygiene, comfort, and even make-up removal.
9. Save a copy of your itinerary on the Internet. Just email it to yourself.
10. This one is from a friend. If you find yourself trying to sleep and there is a mosquito in your room, ask the front desk for a fan. Turns out, mosquito’s hate even a light breeze.
