Whether you are travelling by train and boat, plane or car, there are lots of things to think about when you are taking a trip. Get out your notepad and get ready to write these tips down, because we're about to tell you how you can take a great trip without any difficulty.
If you are travelling to an area that has a liquid-restriction on all liquids you might be packing, invest in bar shampoos and tooth powder. Believe it or not, you can actually find bar shampoo and toothpaste available in powder form online. These items are a great way to get around liquid-restrictions.
If you have children travelling with you, make sure you have a current, colour photo of them with you, in the event they become lost. Losing track of a child can be very frightening. It can, however, still happen. Having a photo of your child handy in case they get lost in a crowd could end up making a huge difference.
When travelling, don't forget that you can travel by bus to many areas in North and South America. It can be much less expensive than flying and is generally lower-stress for the travellers. Travelling by bus has lost much of its disgrace in recent years, with many companies purchasing new vehicles and even hiring security guards to ride along.
One of the first things you should do is check the alarm clock if you're going to be staying in a hotel. Often both the guest prior and a maid playing a prank will have the alarm clock set and it may wake you up deafening in your ear in the middle of the night.
If you want to reduce your travel expenses, get some friends or family to come with you. You can share accommodations and have fun travelling together. Present your idea in an enthusiastic manner ahead of time and let them know exactly how much it will cost them so that they can save up enough money for the trip.
Hotel staff like room service staff and the bell hop are paid meagre tips and salaries are very much appreciated. A good rule of thumb is $1 per bag/luggage and about $2-5 a day for housekeeping. If you can tip these people appropriately, you will find that you will have a better relationship with the hotel staff during your stay.
Avoid wearing loud or particularly noticeable clothing when travelling. Try your best to blend in with your surroundings. Avoid wearing unusual clothing or acting in a way that marks you as a tourist. Pickpockets and con artists are often on the lookout for tourists. Looking too much like one could make you a victim.
