Many Americans are already gearing up for their 2022 summer trips, and you should be, too! If you are going to be on the road, on a plane, or on a boat, there are things you shouldn’t forget to make your vacation a comfortable and memorable one. Here is a short travel guide listing the things you should prepare before going on your next trip.
Obviously! Your phone is your best summer travel friend. Whether you need to use it to book a tour, use Google maps, or share your vacation pictures with friends, a good phone is indispensable when you’re on the road. If you are going to travel to other countries, you should also make sure you have a good international data plan or travel eSIM.
Snacks are a must-have when you’re traveling on a plane especially as airline food gets scarcer. You might be starving when you land in another part of the world, and you don’t want to spend your vacation money on junk food (which is expensive abroad). It’s better to pack your favorite snacks in a bag before going.
The only things better than the memories from vacation are your holiday pictures. Plus, maybe you can show them to your friends and family in the future? To have a good break, you have to have a good camera, or probably just your phone’s cam.
If you’re going on a long vacation, you should book your flight at least 3 weeks in advance. Sunday is the best day of the week to get the best deals and cheapest air tickets. Also, if you have a particular seat preference (for instance, first-class), you should reserve it as soon as possible as these seats are less available than others.
It’s better to book your hotel before leaving for the airport because you can get a better deal with most hotels. Some of them even offer bonuses for booking in advance. Don’t forget to book a hotel close to the airport or centrally located–you want to be able to see everything, don’t you?
Passports are a must-have when you’re traveling internationally. You’re not going to be able to go to another country without one. Depending on your destination, you may also need to check if there is visa requirements that need pre-planning.
Want to have a good vacation? You need a good sleep. Pack a travel pillow in your bag, and you will never have to complain about cramps, aches, and neck pains.
Since you don’t know what the weather will be like in the place you’re heading to, pack some Ziplock bags. You can either save them for your next trip and use them to store your travel documents or use them to store your snacks and extra clothes.
You never know when you’re going to be thirsty, so it’s better to pack a water bottle with you. Alternatively, you can find filtered water when you land at your travel destination, but that takes time, and you better have your own bottle all the time.
If you’re going to walk through many places on your trip, you should take a backpack with you. It will make your trips easier and more comfortable.
If you’re going to be on the road or on a plane for long, you should take a portable charger. They’re small and compact and will charge your devices on the go. Be sure to pack the right kind and make sure it’s the correct voltage to charge your phone and has the right USB ports.
The above are just a few things you’ll need on your summer vacation. There are many others, but if you prepare these things, you should be able to make your trip a memorable one. Don’t forget to read about the different places you’re visiting before you go. You don’t want to miss the best places to visit during your trip!
