Smart Travel Advice To Create a Good Vacation Experience

By

If you’re trying to have the best vacation experience possible, you need to start with the idea of following wise travel advice. Even though getting to a destination and being at a target place can be a fantastic experience in itself, the actual process of travel can be a nightmare if you’re not prepared.

So, before the vacation even begins, what are some things you should do to ensure the travel doesn’t become problematic? First of all, you should never drink and drive. Secondly, don’t rush and get angry while you’re on the move. Third, pack the least that you can. And fourth, stay flexible. Being too dogmatic about how you travel can mean frustration and anxiety instead of a sense of peace and ease.

Don’t Drink and Drive

The very smartest piece of advice that you can follow when it comes to traveling to your vacation spot is that you should not drink and drive. How terrible would it be to get a DUI on your way to your journey’s destination? If you get caught and your blood alcohol level is bad enough, your car could get impounded, and you can go to jail even. Was it worth it to drink before you took off for this kind of a consequence?

Don’t Rush and Get Angry

Being in a rush while heading out to vacation is no fun. Especially if you’re someone that deals with road rage issues, the last thing that you want to be is in a hurry as you’re driving. Do all of your preparations far enough in advance that there will be no need to move faster than is comfortable. If you have a deadline to be somewhere, give yourself even more time to get ready, get on the road, and travel at reasonable speeds.

Pack the Least You Can

When you are packing to go on vacation, put as little as possible in your luggage. Carry-ons are heavy, bulky, and many times you don’t end up using the things that you bring. Obviously, you need to make sure that anything involving health or safety is in your luggage, but as far as conveniences go, try to leave those behind. It’s very likely that you can buy anything that you need at your destination rather than trying to struggle to bring it, especially if it is inexpensive.

Stay Flexible

The most important thing when it comes to smart traveling to create good vacation experiences is that you want to stay flexible. If you’re too rigid about your decision-making processes, then it’s going to start the entire experience off on the wrong foot. Make sure you build in buffers for time, energy, and money, so that it is a relaxed experience rather than one that is full of unnecessary anxiety.

3 Reasons To Choose A Resort Over A Hotel

By

If you are considering planning a trip somewhere, one of the first things that you’re going to have to figure out is where you’re going to be staying. While you do have a lot of options for places that can qualify as a home base for you while traveling or on vacation, there are some choices that are going to be more appealing than others. So if you’re on the fence about whether you should start looking up hotels or checking out some other options, here are three reasons you should consider staying at a resort over anything else available to you.

The Recreation Aspect

Some of the options that you may be considering when booking lodging for your trip could include things like hotels, hostels, rental homes, camping, couch surfing, and more. And although some of these options have positive qualities to them, none of them can offer what a resort can offer you, especially when it comes to the recreation aspect. According to Koshal of DifferenceBetween.com, resorts have the capabilities to give you access to recreation and relaxation amenities that you just can’t get from your typical hotel or rental property. So if you’re wanting to stay somewhere where the grounds and amenities are all part of the experience, a resort is perfect for you.

An All-Inclusive Price

At most resorts, almost everything that you receive or have access to all comes at an all-inclusive price. While there are some resorts that will charge you for additional things, “all-inclusive” resorts tout their abilities to provide you with everything you could need all for the upfront price that you’re paying. Not only can this help to encourage you to take advantage of anything and everything the resort has to offer you, but Susan Breslow Sardone, a contributor to Trip Savvy, shares that these types of resorts can also make it easier than ever for you to stick to your budget. By knowing what all your costs are going to be before you get to your accommodations, it can reduce a lot of the financial stress that comes with traveling.

Better Security

Resorts are often located on large campuses that have all type of out buildings, clubhouses, lodges and more that make up the entirety of the property. Because of this, Michael Lewis, a contributor to Money Crashers, shares that resorts often have better security on their property and to their rooms than other forms of lodging. Especially if you’re traveling to an area that has civil unrest or high levels of crime, you may find yourself feeling much safe at a resort than any other available room.

If you’re about to book a stay somewhere, consider choosing a resort over the other lodging options you may have chosen before.
