Travel can mean the exhilaration of seeing new places or the nightmare of not having the comforts and

security of home. Like anything, travel goes much more smoothly with a little bit of knowledge and

preparation. Keep reading for some sound advice from seasoned travelers on making your journeys

pleasant memories.

Ditch the fanny pack. Not only do you look the part of a tourist, a fanny pack is often easy pickings for a

thief. If you crave the convenience of the fanny pack, consider getting a multi-pocket travel vest instead.

These carry just as much but keep the items close to your body where they are safer.

When you are packing for a trip, put smaller objects, like shampoos and medications, in see-through

plastic bags. This will make it easier for you to find what you are looking

for. It will also help save time if you are traveling internationally and

customs wants to look through your luggage.

Eliminate the middle man when purchasing travel tickets. When you

book direct with an airline or train line, 90% of the time you will get a

better deal than if you use a booking agency. Many booking agencies

are now reducing their fees, but if you have time to book direct, nine

times out of ten you will save money.

When traveling for vacation, it is best to take a trip to places that are

not like where you live. If you decide to go somewhere that is just like

where you live, you will end up not enjoying the time and it would just be a large waste of money. Carry

a business card or book of matches from your hotel with you everywhere you go. If you are out on the

streets of a foreign city and find yourself lost, this small item will be very useful when trying to get

directions from a taxi driver or a local on the street. It is especially useful for anyone without a firm grip

on the language.

If you are planning on spending a large amount of money on your trip or vacation, consider investing a

small amount more on travel insurance. It will insure that you are protected in the event that your trip

must be canceled due to personal illness, natural disaster, or other uncontrollable events. Take

advantage of the hotel's ice machines when you are traveling. Many people enjoy having a cup of coffee

in the morning, but they often dislike the way hotel coffee tastes. The ice machines use filtered water,

so try putting ice in the machine the night before and allowing it to melt. The difference in taste

between coffee made with filtered water instead of tap water is amazing.

Asking for a better hotel room when you are checking in will most probably get you one! If you would

prefer a better view, a quieter room or maybe one closer to the ice-machine, chances are very good that

one is available. It takes but a moment to ask and will most definitely improve your stay.

Boca Limo Service on Traveling Overseas Avoid asking your hotel's staff about what attractions and restaurants are the ones to go to during your

travels. It is likely that they are on the take and will receive some kind of commission for sending you

there and there is no way of knowing whether it is a quality establishment.

If you're going to use the safe in the hotel, it's recommended that you wipe off the keys before use. And

once it's locked, press all the keys. Some hotel staff have been putting a powder on the keys that when a

light is shined on them it lights up which ones you've pressed and they're able to take things out of the

safe.

Have someone pick up your mail and newspapers while you travel. A full mailbox and a pile of

newspapers is a big sign that a home's owners are away. Have a friend or family member pick up these

theft beacons and ensure you do not come back to a ransacked home.

Talk to any road warrior and they can tell you both stories of great trips and disaster journeys. Some of

the things they have learned have been shared in this article. Keep these tips in mind in preparing for

your future travels, and you are sure to come home with great memories rather than headaches.
