Make your break worry-free
Where you have to pay to use the restroom. Seriously
Posted on February 25, 2008
With Spring Break right around the corner, many students will find themselves traveling, whether to sunny destinations or just home to visit family. Here are a few travel tips to help make any Spring Break more enjoyable.
1. If you’re driving, make sure to check your tires, break lights, fluid levels and toolkit so that you will be prepared for a roadside emergency.
2. Don’t forget anything that you can’t replace. Make sure you have your cell phone and charger, medications, driver’s license, passport and wallet.
3. If you’re flying, get to the airport at least two hours early and bring a book, iPod or magazine to kill time, especially if your flight ends up delayed.
4. If your destination is far away and you’re going to be driving or flying for a long time, make sure to wear comfortable clothing and shoes.
5. Make sure your wallet is in a secure place when you’re walking around to avoid being pick-pocketed.
6. If you’re flying, try to carry your luggage on the plane. Checking bags can lead to lost luggage.
7. If you’re in a new city for the first time, don’t walk alone. Use the buddy system!
8. In some countries the drinking age is lower than 21, so if you plan to drink be responsible: know your limit, never accept drinks from strangers and don’t leave your drink sitting around.
9. If your destination is sunny, protect your skin with suntan lotion. Getting a burn on the first day will ruin the rest of your vacation.
10. Have fun, but be safe!
