The Perfect Tips for the Perfect Vacation.



Going on vacation is one of the best things in the world, you are going out to see amazing places, have fun and enjoy life. However, before you can start your fun, you have a lot of hard work to do in preparation. To help your vacation go as smoothly as possible, here are some great travel tips for everything from booking your flight to packing your bags. Some of these tips saved me a lot of misery during my travels, and I'm sure they will help you too.

If you are traveling to another country, call your credit or debit card company before you go. Make sure you are authorized to make purchases with foreign currency so that your card won't be suspended for suspicious activity. There's nothing worse than being stuck without money abroad.

If you are going to go on a long flight or a long drive it's a good idea to go for a short run (or other forms of exercising) before leaving. This will reduce your stress and you’ll have an easier time falling asleep if you want to.

Airlines often offer cheap upgrades to business or first class on the day of the flight, if some are still available. There may not be any upgrades available, but it’s worth a shot to ask the ground crew if you feel like pampering yourself and don’t mind paying a bit extra.

Bring a golf ball or a tennis ball with you on your trips and roll them under your feet for a DIY foot massage. Just practice at home first, you don’t want to send balls wandering through the cabin.

When you pack your shoes, place them in a shower cap. This will not only keep them from moving around, but also make sure they won't get any of your other clothes dirty.

If you are looking on the internet for flight tickets, make sure to set your internet browser on private or incognito mod. Travel sites often track visits and will increase the price based on the search history kept on your browser, browsing in this mode will prevent them from accessing this information. To enable private mod, press Ctrl+Shift+P on Internet Explorer/Mozilla Firefox and Ctrl+Shift+N on Google Chrome.

If you want to have a bottle of water with you on your flight or before it, just bring an empty water bottle in your handbag. After you are done with security you can fill it with water.

Instead of folding your cloths in your suitcase try rolling them. This will save space and reduce wrinkles.

It's always a good idea to have some bobby pins with you when you travel. Keep them in a Tic Tac container to make sure they don’t get lost.

If you forget the wall plug-in for your phone but you still have a USB charger, check the back of your hotel TV. Most modern televisions have a USB port that can charge your phone when they are turned on.

If you don’t have any way of charging your phone or other electronic devices, ask the reception for help. Visitors often forget their chargers and the hotel shouldn’t have any problem lending you one for your stay.

Place a dryer sheet (fabric softener) in your suitcase to keep your clothes smelling fresh.

A pill box can be used to store jewelry, pins and other small objects with ease.

If you know you are going to be away from a place with electricity for a long time, buy a portable phone charger.
