Ah, vacation time. A time to spend quality family time and relax from the daily grind. So, are you ready to plan for your dream vacation? You know, the vacation that runs smoothly and isn't totally stressful? Here are a few tips to help make this vacation one you and your family will remember for a life time.
1. Need easy access to all your vacation papers? Who doesn't? Things like car rental papers, hotel reservations, airline tickets, road maps, and even tourist brochures are easy to lose. Why not have a special folder just for them? You could put the name of your destination on the front. This will help you always know where everything is.
2. Let's take a look in your closets. Do you have the clothes you need to make your vacation work? You don't want to be miserable because you brought the wrong clothing. If you are going to the beach, you can probably leave your coat and scarf at home. Don't take more clothes than you need and try to dress for the weather.
3. There are many travel packing lists. Some destinations provide these. This will help keep unpleasant surprises at bay. You would be wise to keep this in your file of papers for your trip.
4. Enlist the help of your children in packing their own bags. Give them a checklist similar to what you are using to help them out. Make sure they get everything and that they haven't over packed. If the bag is light enough, they will probably get a kick out of carrying it themselves. Also make sure that you have some things for them to do in the car such as music to listen to, books to read, games to play, and snacks and water.
5. Another great idea is a back pack filled with your necessities for the trip such as any medicine you may need to take, and water and snacks. A first aid kit if you are traveling with accident prone children is a wise idea.
6. If you have a specific destination and time frame in mind, the sooner you make reservations the better and the cheaper the price. However, if you are more flexible, cancellations can be a great way to go. You may not all get to sit together on flights though.
7. If you are going outside the United States, make sure you have a basic knowledge of the currency exchange rate so you don't get taken in.
