Best Travel Tips for a fabulous vacation
Traveling is such a great experience that we think that we can do this all the time.
Unfortunately, we now have very little time for travel in this fast & furious world. Most of us hardly get a few weeks per year to take vacations if we are lucky enough.
We have to make sure the trips to be the best with some amounts of humor (unlike many travel movies where there are only nightmares around each corner). We are providing you with our top 10 travel tips to make your vacations unforgettable – (of course without the nightmares).
Top 10 Travel Tips
1. Plan early & book when a best deal fits your budget. New companies pop up everyday for more and more travel. Why? Because as the baby boomer age group gets grown-up & the parents once take their kids out of the house, they are traveling more and more. Best deals are easy to get through many sound companies that offer great & economical rates and fares.
2. Be familiar with your destination and the best times of travel. Remember the incidence of Angelina Jolie who takes the whole family to across the country only to find out the favorite Fun Park closed for the day? Do not let that happen to you. Try to know what is going on and when is the best time to travel. For example, most people know that March and April tend to be spring break times. Well, if you take your little ones to Panama City Florida during these months you might end up in a large crowd.
3. Take care of your belongings including family pet.
4. Budget wisely. Make provisions for worst situation and carry enough resources to fall back on. If you are on a budget, be smart & enjoy doing things on a trip.
5. Don’t forget your key documents at home. There is nothing more frustrating than this.
6. You have to choose your place of stay smartly. If you choose to stay close to beach, market, and restaurant for any famous vacation then that will be the best. On the other hand, it will be equally frustrating if you need to catch a train or a rent a car just to get there from the hotel. You have to make sure that everyone who is traveling with you will also have fun! Again, in Las Vegas vacation when the kids are too young to gamble, you have to come up with some creative ideas so the kids will also have a good time.
7. Sign up for online magazine & newspapers to keep you abreast of new information about the destination of your choice.
8. Plan it properly. It can really cut you short on certain things like rentals and transport charges.
9. Make a checklist and be sure to check that everything is in order before starting and during the trip. From booking to packing to check in, do not fail to remember anything and fail to consult with checklist.
10. Have a great fun and enjoy no matter what type of vacation you are going on.
These are our top 10 travel tips and we try to abide by them each time we take a vacation. Hope you too will find your trip to be more enjoyable using these tips.

Tips on Avoiding Loss Of Your Luggage
The following guidance should help you to avoid many of the common problems that passengers face with carry-on or checked luggage. Take a trip with Only Carry-on luggage: It reduces the risk of checked luggage lost or stolen.
Do not place Heavy object in the Overhead Storage Bins: Although, the weight limit for carry-on items is generally about 40 pounds (18.2 kilos), even a much lighter bag may cause severe injury if it falls out of overhead storage bin.
Place a Contact list inside and outside of Every Bag: Put your name and contact address & phone no. on the outside of every bag. Also, put the same information & a copy of your itinerary inside every bag. This will make it easier for the airline to recognize you, if you lose your luggage.
Customize the Look of Your Luggage: Make it easy to recognize because there might be many bags with a similar design on a flight; customize the bag to make it simple to spot on a baggage carousel. This will also help you to prevent change of your baggage with your fellow passenger by mistake.
Keep Important Documents with You: Do not pack valuable items in checked luggage. Money, laptop computers, electronic files, and other items of high importance should be place in a carry-on bag, preferably one that is small enough to be stowed under the seat. The airline might insist on checking larger carry-on bags if the storage bin gets filled.
Make sure that the Airline label on Your Checked suitcases is for the right Destination: Each of your checked luggage must have a three-letter airport identifier that should match your destination airport. If you are unsure about three-letter code, ask the ticket representative or skycap.
Be sure that a Stub placed on your Checked Luggage: This stub is a critical document that will be required if your things are lost by the airline or if you are trying to identify that, you own a piece of luggage.
If your checked luggage does not reach your destination, immediately report to the concerned person on duty or to any other available agent.
Get ready to Deal with lost bags: Pack according to usage so that you continue your trip even with the loss of one of your luggage. Distribute key objects like business suits or underwear so that you can carry on with your business until you either get the bag back or replace the lost object. If you are carrying essential items or information for a business meeting, either carry a backup set of information or have that backup information sent ahead of time.
Don't Pack Hazardous Goods: There are quite a number of items or equipment, some of them are not so obvious, which may cause a risk if taken on an aircraft.

London Attractions
Despite Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish transference, London is still where the country's news and money are made. London is where the central government resides and where unsophisticated life begins. Londoners' sense of superiority causes enormous resentment in the regions, but it is undeniable that the capital has a great measure of success in most walks of British life.
Most of the major attractions in Europe is located in London. London boasts four World Heritage Sites, 238 attractions that are free to enter (so there's nowhere else in the world where you can see so much for so little). Visit the many museums and castles that the city has to offer.
About thirty percent of London is open space; the other areas are filled with one of the 143 registered parks and gardens. Many of the parks have short walking paths and nature trails can be found in places like Hampstead Heath and Mile End Park, so let us put on our walking shoes and go for a stroll, take a picnic lunch for the end of your walk.
The National Gallery houses paintings ranging from 1250 to 1900, including the works of Leonardo da Vinci, Rembrandt, Van Gogh, Botticelli, Gainsborough, Turner, Cezanne along with other great works.
The British Museum exhibits the works of man from primitive to modern times with a collection from all around the world. The Rosetta stone, sculptures from the Parthenon and the Portland Vase are included in this museum.
