By Ocie Potts


An excellent method of exploring new areas and gaining some new insight into the world around us is traveling. As fun and educating as it is, it can be costly and chew up a ton of time. Here are a few tips you can use in making you vacation both enjoyable and affordable.

Brushing your dogs before travel is a great idea. This helps prevent flying hair in the car. Don't forget to pack the essentials needed to properly care for your dog while you are away.

If you have children traveling with you, make sure you have a current, color photo of them with you, in the event they become lost. It is extremely frightening to become separated from your child. It can happen to even the most diligent parents. Keeping a picture of your child on hand can really help a lot if they ever get lost.

Some travel sites offer a useful E-tracking option. It can assist you in keeping up with money-saving travel options. It will send you an email if a flight you booked or are watching lowers in price.

Always be kind, and tip your bell waiter and housekeeper daily. This will make your stay much more pleasant. Standard tipping rates are a dollar per bag carried, and around $2-5 per day to the maid. Doing this will not only show that you appreciated the work they did, but it will also foster a good relationship with them.

Look at when your passport expires. There are rules about your passport in many countries. Certain countries will deny entry if the expiration date on your passport falls within a certain range. The limit on expired passports can range up to six months; some countries may go up to a year.

Don't go to sleep before 8pm local time if you are adjusting to a different time zone. Though you may be exhausted, succumbing to sleep earlier than you should may end up making your jet lag worse because you have not allowed your body to recalibrate. It's easier to overcome jet lag if you adjust to the local time as quickly as possible.

In conclusion, the trip planning process can be a difficult one that can be intimidating. If you start ahead of time and educate yourself, this process should become less intimidating. Using the ideas in the article will help you make excellent travel plans the next time you plan a trip.
