Planning Your Perfect Vacation

By Twickenham Advisors on May 22, 2018

Part 1 This blog is part of a 3-part series featuring travel tips to help plan your perfect vacation.

The weather is warming, the school year is ending and vacation season is just around the corner! Sailing away for a weekend or flying across the world for an extended time can be an exciting adventure, but all the steps involved in getting there can be stressful. From packing and booking to mapping and traveling, planning that relaxing vacation can be made easy with a few tips and tools.

In no particular order, below are some simple ideas that can help make your vacation planning a breeze.

Create a Travel Notebook: Whether you prefer paper or digital, keeping all your itineraries, lists, travel guides and important documents in one place will help you locate everything along the way. Apps like Google Drive or even Notes (the default app. for Apple iPhone) are great ways to quickly create lists and share the files with other travel companions.
Find Your Inner Foodie: When traveling anywhere, one of the main courses on your journey is checking out the local fare. Asking the natives can be the best source, and travel websites are full of reviews and pointers from other tourists like you. From fine-dining to mom and pop cafes, TripAdvisor is a must-read when looking for a great restaurant. The Travel Channel and Travel & Leisure websites are also full of restaurant recommendations and reviews.
Pack Smartly: Start gathering your travel items prior to the night before your trip. Check out these lightweight packing cubes that organize and simplify your baggage while also help to keep your suitcase weight below the threshold. While on the go, bringing snacks and food is always a plus, but if traveling abroad, know what is permitted for the specific place your visiting. Many countries do not allow produce, meat or goods that can spoil past customs.
Travel in Comfort: Long or short distances, by plane or on a road trip – traveling can be tiring. Catch a cat nap or a long snooze with some of these re-invented travel pillows. While you may look like your in a neck brace, theTempurpedic-like neck support will help lull you to sleep.
