Vacation
Vacation:Taking an extended period of time away from
work for rest and relaxation. With the pressure our
modern world we need the time to turn off the
computer, tablet and cell phone and get away to
those far away places with strange sounding names
and just relax.
1. Plan but don't over
plan. Make sure you understand what
you want to see hear and experience,
but make room, space and time for
spontaneity and unintended
occurrences.
2. Confirm your
reservations at the hotel, parks,
recreation areas, planes, trains and
ships.
3. If traveling abroad,
convert your cash to match the
currency of your destination.
4. If you have pets, see
to their safety and comfort in the
automobile (don't put them on the
top of your car), train or plane.
5. Check to see if your
destination accept pets and provide
food and water.
6. Suspend your mail and
newspaper, contact your home
security company and ask a neighbor
to keep an eye on your home.
7. Watch your credit
cards and cash carefully. Cards can
easily be scanned or stolen and
should be used wisely.
8. Pack carefully and lightly. Remember
airlines have restrictions and fees for your
baggage.
9. Check your camera and video equipment
for battery power and malfunctions. You would hate
to arrive at your destination and discover the
batteries lack power and the camera does not work.
10. Go to our page Photography and get
helpful hints to make your photography and
videography the best ever.
11. Check with your cell phone company
about access and charges at your destination. Some
units don't operate and charges and roaming fees
could be immense.
12. In planning for travel in foreign
countries research their customs, traditions and
travel warnings. Many of a vacation has been
disrupted by a gaff, misunderstanding and lack of
understanding.
13. A new method of theft has developed.
It involves your cell phone. Criminals have
developed a method of stealing your information by
establishing a fake WiFi in a vacation destination
(hotel, restaurant, resorts etc). They will
establish a WiFi similar to your hotel ie John Smith
Hotel Connect will be called WiFi John Smith Hotel.
You will assume it is the hotels free WiFi and be
connected. Our advice is to contact the front desk
or management and verify that the WiFi you are being
connected to is legitimate.
