I almost completely missed the opportunity to grab this
photo. I was on a fishing trip with some buddies and we
all noticed how incredible the sky looked as we were pull-
ing the boat up to the dock. The sun was setting quickly
so I didn’t have a lot of time, luckily my son Steven knew
exactly what I was thinking and met us at the dock with
my camera.

If something goes wrong
during your trip, they’ll
be there to help.
Have an Emergency Plan The
only thing worse than an emer-
gency while on vacation is not
knowing how to handle one.
Know the Law Whether you’re
traveling to a foreign country or just
a different state, ignorance will get
you nowhere. Do some research.
Be Flexible Things won’t
always turn out how
you’d like, just relax and
enjoy yourself.
There are many
things that that
could go wrong dur-
ing a vacation. The
easiest way to pro-
tect yourself from
situations like this is
by putting some ef-
fort into organizing
and preparing for
your trip well before
you begin to pack
your bags. Although
it may seem like
an inconvenience,
proper planning
can help you avoid
disaster and enjoy
your retreat to the
fullest.

“...What Now?”
Y
ou’ve finally made it; the desk at work is 2,000 miles
away, you don’t have to be up at 6 a.m., and you
won’t be receiving that weekly phone call from your
mother-in-law. But, it doesn’t look like you’ll be receiving any
calls because your phone was just stolen. And it seems you’ll
be having trouble even checking into your hotel, since you lost
your wallet while running to make your connecting flight back
in Houston. Your vacation is already a train wreck and you’ve
only just arrived...what now?
Tips & Tricks | Planning
A look at how time spent now can help reduce stress, save money,
and leave more time for enjoying your well deserved vacation.
