Recommended Holiday Travel Tips

If you plan on traveling during the holidays, it is a good idea to have some resources that may help make your trip even better. Also, planning ahead will help keep you from getting stressed out. 

Travel Sites
Whether you happen to be traveling in Australia, Europe, or the US, you should always check out some of the top travel sites like Kayak, Hotwire, or Orbitz. These sites offer discounted rates on fares, hotels, and rental cars. The savings you can get with some of these sites really depends on whether or not you are willing to be flexible, because you are basically getting the leftover seats and rooms that the hotel, airline or rental car company would be unable to sell on its own. 

Best Travel Preparedness Tips
During any kind of travel, make sure you are prepared. If traveling by car make sure you have a cell phone, even if it is just a cheap prepaid phone with 100 minutes on it. It could save your life. A first aid kit, bottled water, and a couple of days worth of food is always a good idea to pack along in case you get stranded. Plan your stops along the way ahead of time. When traveling anywhere away from home for an extended period of time, don't be afraid to let some trusted neighbors know so they can keep an eye on your home while you are away.
