Have you been on a vacation lately? If not, why not? Everyone needs to get away a few times a year. It doesn't matter what you do. Not taking some time off from where you work can lead to a very unhappy you. It will make you not want to be at your job. It will put you in a bad mood when you realize that you have not had a break in a very long time.
When you finally do decide to take that much needed time off, the following tips can make your vacation a lot less stressful and much more relaxing. After all, a vacation's whole purpose is for you to recharge your batteries. The less things you have to worry about during the time off you have, the more enjoyable your time away will be.
1) Make sure your reservation is intact. There is nothing more stressful than getting to where you are staying only to find out there is no reservation for you. Call the place you are staying at least a week ahead of time to make sure all is in order.
2) Decide which credit cards you will be taking with you to use. If you have many credit cards, do not take them all with you. If for some reason you lose one or they get stolen, you will only have to deal with the ones you know that you brought. By limiting the cards you bring, you limit having to remember every card that you have.
3) Get travelers checks to pay for the all inclusive fee. This will diminish the amount of cash you have to carry. IF they get stolen or you somehow lose them, you can get more. If you have cash there is no replacing that. Just be sure to keep the travelers checks separate from the the form with their serial numbers on them.
4) Book your flight so you can be at your resort in the morning. The resort will let you use all of the facilities while you wait for your room to be ready. You will get a whole day in the sun by doing this.
5) Carry a backpack or something similar. Put a swimsuit in there and a change of clothes. You never know when that airlines will lose your luggage. This way you have a day to wait if you luggage gets to the wrong destination.
6) Bring tip money. A little tipping here and there will go a long way. The staff will be very appreciative and you will be surprised at how much better the service you get will be. Remember, always be nice to the bartenders. If they don't like you, they will try and not serve you. Besides, your on vacation. Be nice and people will be nice to you.
If you follow the 6 tips you will be on your way to a stress free start to a well deserved vacation full of fun and relaxation.
