Summer vacations are here. It is now time to venture out and enjoy some sunshine and warmth. You are full of excitement and looking forward to an adventure of a lifetime. You do not want to miss the opportunity of packing your baggage and hitting the travel route. Before proceeding and planning for a last minute vacation, you will be at an advantage if you follow some important summer travel tips.
- Drink BEFORE dehydration. It takes longer to rehydrate when your body is already showing signs of dehydration. Dizziness, nausea and even changes in mood can be related to dehydration. Good rule, drink 10 glasses of water per day when it is warm outside and one glass per 30 minutes of exercise indoors, one glass per 20 minutes of exercise outdoors.
- Safe Sunblock - Did you know that most sunblock have harsh chemicals that can cause cancer and other illnesses. From neurotoxins to methylparabens, it’s challenging to know which ones are safe for your skin and your children's skin. To find sunblock that are safer for you and your family, see the cosmetics database.
- Pack the right things - Packing is a fine balance of bringing what you really need without taking too much. How do you do it? Planning ahead and having a really good list. Bring anything you absolutely must have, bring coordinated clothing you can mix and match and make sure to have a list prepared well in advance so you don't forget anything. Don't bring too much of anything, you will not wear six pairs of shoes I promise you, and don't bring anything that can be bought along the way if you really need it.
- Travel insurance can be easily obtained through a travel agent or any insurance company. Make sure that you are sufficiently insured to take care of any contingencies during your vacation.
- What good is a vacation if you cannot relive them in the future? Carry with you an excellent camera or a video recorder to capture all your favorite moments. Do not forget to pack the necessary accessories of your recording devices. You should also remember to carry all the accessories of your mobile and other electronic devices.
Preparation is always the key to success and that goes the same for summer vacations. If you really want to enjoy a fruitful and fun-filled vacation, then you need to prepare early. Set your budget and plan ahead of time.
