Research top travel destinations and any other places you’ve been wanting to visit so you can get an idea of what to expect and if you’re truly interested in visiting. Travel websites like Travel + Leisure and U.S. News frequently post articles about top travel destinations so you can always get some great information and ideas.
Along with researching and narrowing down which destination you’d like to visit, be sure to also research more about the place you choose, especially if you’ll be traveling internationally. Find out local laws, customs, medical care, and visa requirements. Additionally, you’ll want to make sure there aren’t any travel warnings or travel alerts which could hinder your plans. Travel.State.Gov (U.S. Department of State – Bureau Of Consular Affairs) is a great resource for international travel information. Also make sure you bring contact information for the closest U.S. consulate or embassy. They’ll be able to help you in the event of an emergency 24/7.

Schedule Activities/Excursions
Horseback riding, paragliding, sailing, snorkeling, food tours, sightseeing – there is so much to do and see while on vacation! Before you embark on your trip, research fun activities and things you must do or see while visiting the area.
