Planning international tropical vacations and making reservations requires planning and organization.  Here is an easy checklist to follow to keep yourself on track and help make sure nothing is over-looked:

1. Check that everyone in your traveling party has a current passport.  If someone does not, following the steps listed after this one won’t really matter!

2. Now that all in your party can exit the country as well as enter your destination country, its time to decide what that destination is.  A number of factors go into this decision, such as your preference on island size, vacation style, housing accommodations, how “touristy” and populated of a destination you like, or if you find small-town and intimate more relaxing and refreshing.  Or, if you prefer boats to planes, consider taking a little longer to reach your destination and enjoy an ocean-front view for a few days by taking a cruise.

3. In choosing your vacation destination, also take the size of your traveling group into account.  Cruises are a promising idea for singles, couples, and families (as long as no one in your party has very sensitive motion sickness).  There are Caribbean resorts worth researching that are more appropriate for singles or couples: in Jamaica there is the Hedonism II and III, as well as the Royal Plantation by Sandals; St. Lucia’s most promising option is Ladera Resort and Spa; Antigua boasts of the Beach House of Gallery Bay Resort.  Some land-based family-friendly, all-inclusive, options in Jamaica are Holiday Inn… Read the rest

Many people will agree that planning a vacation can be as exciting as the vacation itself. Also, planning for travel or for a vacation can involve the whole family or at least all those that are going to be traveling. There are a few steps that one can take to improve his or her vacation as a whole, which revolve around meticulous planning. Although one does not have to imitate Clark Griswald in the many National Lampoon movies, he or she can create a rudimentary schedule and lists of everywhere he or she will travel along with important addresses and numbers. A simple list can be not only a time saver, but a money saver as well.

Lists: Destinations

Although everyone that will be traveling should know where their destination lies, it is good practice to create a list of the destinations as well as arrival times. Understanding where one will be traveling to, and when one will be arriving, will help everyone plan their activities accordingly. For instance, if you are traveling from the United States to England and will not be arriving until ten o’clock at night, you would not want to plan on visiting Buckingham Palace until the next day. Although such scheduling seems obvious, by scheduling your next day’s activities you can better understand your limitations as to what you can see and when you can see it. This will help travelers avoid scheduling activities that can not be accomplished as well as give one an… Read the rest

Planning a vacation or going on business out of town? Whether this is your first trip or the fortieth, a nod to common sense and a few practical pointers will not only streamline your journey, but also enhance your experience by making it safer, easier and more fun.

Planning Your Journey
Be sure to familiarize yourself with your destination. The Internet is an excellent resource for researching the area you will be visiting, and many visitor centers will also send a welcome packet for a nominal fee – as well as answer any questions by phone. Things that you should know before you leave include: the address and specific location of your hotel, the exact route to get there and hotel check in time. Also be aware of any specifics you might need en route, such as money for cab fare or toll roads, and carry a decent map of the region in case all else fails and you get lost. A cell phone is always a good idea in case of complications as well – be sure to have emergency numbers handy to contact your family, employer, etc. if necessary.

Consider your transportation needs. Is this an extended stay? Will you need a vehicle to drive or does the area have adequate public services such as busses, subways and commuter trains? Familiarize yourself with available transport as well as related costs and be sure to keep a copy of the bus or subway schedules with you if you… Read the rest
