Be sure to bring any proof that you have had vaccinations if you’re traveling to a country that requires it.

When you go overseas, be careful of the taxis you take. Be certain that the taxi is a real taxi before you enter the car. Anyone can place a “TAXI” sign atop their vehicle, which means you can be in danger.
Looking for tickets online when you plan on traveling to a particular location or attraction is an easy way to prepare in advance. In addition, you can print the tickets ahead of time.

If the park uses a timed entry system, you won’t need to wait in line to enter, either.
If you cannot leave your pet home, find a hotel that will allow you to bring your pet with you.

Certain locations don’t let senior citizens rent cars. When you are making your reservation be sure to ask the age restrictions.
Any time you travel, when booking a hotel, ask for the ‘local” rate. Hotels often cater to locals with deals so that they don’t have to deal with vacancy. If you know anyone who lives where you are going, ask them if they can help you get a discount. You can save a lot this way.
Earplugs are great if you sleep lightly. Many hotel walls can seem to be made of paper. A great set of earplugs can help block out excess noise and let you relax at night.
If you plan to travel out of the country, bring bottled water. Some countries do not purify or distill their water, and as a result it is rich in dangerous bacteria. Make sure you use bottled water when choosing to brush your teeth. Tap water can still make you sick this way.
Always carry a small blanket and pillow when you travel. Whether you are traveling by car, bus, plane or train, the trip will be much more comfortable with your own blanket and pillow. Usually airlines have them, but could run out. To carry your own, you can have the peace of mind that comes with knowing it is clean.
When traveling by airplane, make sure your kid is seated as far away from the aisles as you can. Make sure there is another adult between them and the aisle. Curious children could be injured if they reached out when the snack cart came through. They won’t be able to run away either.
Contact lenses should be in a case when you going on a trip. They are great for packing small amounts of lotions or hair gel.
