BOOK WITH A TRAVEL AGENT

Choosing to book your vacation through a travel agent can save you lots of time and money.  A knowledgeable travel agent can be a wealth of valuable information that will result in a great vacation, according to your budget!
 
  6 Steps to Traveling Pleasure

1. Be well prepared before departure. Read up on your destination & talk to someone who has been there & knows the cities you'll be visiting.  This could be your travel agent!

2. Take 2 credit/ATM cards with you & keep in separate places--that way, if you lose one, you have a back up!

3. Drink lots of water on the airplane, especially on long flights & upon arrival. Flying dehydrates.

4. Contract a local guide to show you around or take a bus city tour upon arrival to get an overview of the city you are visiting.

5. Be aware of your belongings at all times.  Don't travel with expensive jewelry & don't take your laptop unless absolutely necessary.

6. Take a day to explore, without any particular destination or activity!
