Packing Tips To Make Travel Easier

Posted on by Lucky n Love

Airline travel can be a royal pain these days; here are some packing tips to make travel easier. These tips can also help you avoid checked bag fees by just taking a carry on bag if you are going on a trip of less than 5 days.Find the right suitcase. Purchase a carry-on that will fit the bill as your only piece of luggage. Make sure it is designated as a carry-on and meets airline standards to fit in the overhead bin or under the seat in front of you.

Have a packing plan. Think about the activities you will do each day and pack accordingly. Check on current weather conditions and what is recommended, or that you need to bring for the activities you have booked. Less is more. Most of us over pack (me included), so limit yourself. A good rule of thumb is to lay out all of the clothes you want to bring, and remove 2 items.

Roll your clothes. This takes up less space in your suitcase. Consider your footwear. Wear the bulkiest shoes when you travel to save precious space in your suitcase. Pack wrinkle-free clothes to save you precious time and the hassle of having to iron on your vacation. Who wants to iron on a trip? I certainly don’t. packing tips to make travel eaiser Don’t forget to pack your must have electronics and all the charging cords you will need. Know your airline luggage rules regarding checked bag fees and carry-on items. Many airlines are selling fares that do not allow access to the overhead bins; know upfront what you are paying for. I hope my packing tips to make travel easier will help you on your future adventures.

Costa Rica is a lush tropical setting perfect for couples who want to hike in rain forests, enjoy thermal springs, make new friends with the local wildlife, and are not big beach lovers. Costa Rica has pretty beaches, but they are different from other beaches you will find in the Caribbean.

Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic offers the adventurous couple plenty of outdoor activities along with quiet soft sand beaches.

Honeymoon Planning & Destination

Posted on by Lucky n Love

After your wedding plans have come together, it is time for honeymoon planning and to choose a destination. One question many couples have is, “when is the best time to take a honeymoon?” There is no simple answer to this question, and there are 3 things to think about. The time of the year you will be getting married, the amount that you are comfortable spending, and the destination you have your heart set on visiting.

Time Of The Year For Your Honeymoon

If your wedding will take place from June through November, it may be a good choice to delay your honeymoon. That is hurricane season, and historically most hurricanes occur from August through October, but no one can predict the weather. Hurricanes can impact travel to Mexico, the Caribbean, Florida, and the Eastern & Gulf coasts of the United States.

 Destination Budget

The amount that you have available to spend will be a big deciding factor. If you have your heart set on a destination such as Tahiti, but only have $3,000 to spend, it is not a realistic expectation. If you want to travel during “prime” season (November through March) to destinations in the Caribbean and Mexico; expect to pay more. Many couples choose to delay their honeymoon, so they have time to save up to take their dream trip.
