Helpful travel hints

With a little bit of planning, you can remove some of the stressors associated with travel and lay the foundation for an enjoyable experience. For example, equipping yourself with books and maps of the area you will visit provides you with vital information you may need during the course of your travels. You can use this information to draw up a daily itinerary, knowing that you can always deviate from it if you wish.

Booking your travel and lodging accommodations ahead of time, while removing the element of spontaneity, insures you won't get shut out during the busy season; you can make your reservations through a travel agent or, in many cases, the Internet.
