Many people spend their vacations traveling, either domestically or internationally, and find it difficult to remember all of the small details both before leaving home and while on the trip they thought was so well planned out. Here’s where some travel advice comes in handy. Making a list of essentials and then dividing it into what needs to do before locking the home door and what needs to be remembered while traveling to your destination is usually helpful. Here are a few useful Ouray Colorado travel suggestions to add to your to-do list:
• If you are traveling outside of the country, scan your travel tickets, passport, ATM card information, and emergency phone numbers and save them to your email address so that you can access them from anywhere in the world if necessary.
• Don’t keep all of your valuables in a single location. Cash, bank cards, credit cards, and travelers checks should all be kept in separate pockets or bags (best if kept on your person in case of luggage misplacement). If you’re robbed, you won’t lose everything at once.
• To make things easier for security clearance, use toothpaste powder and bar soap instead of liquids and tubes. If at all possible, buy the sample sizes.
• One of the best travel tips is to pack everything you can into plastic bags, which keep your luggage cleaner and are visible to those who feel the need to search your luggage at airports and other locations. They can also be used as a backup umbrella in a pinch.
• It’s common to travel with a flashlight (or torch), but don’t let the batteries run out if the light accidentally turns on. Before storing your batteries, turn them around and then back around when you arrive at your destination.
• To keep the rest of your luggage odor-free and clean, place your shoes in plastic bags. To make packing easier, stuff a pair of socks into each shoe.
• Keep any necessary medications and important documents in your overhead baggage when flying, especially on a long flight. When flying for long periods of time, it’s a good idea to bring a clean change of clothes.
Last but not least, don’t forget to get any necessary vaccinations (depending on where you’re going) and don’t forget to bring your list!
