How to Plan the Best Summer Vacation




Are you wondering how you can be sure you’re planning the best summer
vacation? Are you not sure how to go about planning for your vacation this
summer? Depending on your circumstances and experience, planning a
vacation can seem daunting. And a poorly-planned trip can be more of a
headache than a relaxing vacation. Here are some tips to help you plan
and get the most out of your summer vacation this year.

1. Flexibility

It may seem contradictory, but part of good planning is being flexible. If you
expect every detail of your plan to play out exactly as it is on paper, you’re
likely to end up frustrated. Some things are just not in your control. For
instance, heavy traffic, flight delays, and weather can all affect your travel
time. So it’s a good idea to allow some extra time for these unpredictable
things, and to have a back-up plan (more on that below).

Flexibility also allows for sight-seeing and other diversions. Unplanned
stops can make for great memories and experiences.

2. Back-up Plans

It’s not a bad idea to have a back-up plan in case of unforeseen events. For
instance, even if you leave early and allow time for a traffic jam,
circumstances could come together in such a way that you have to spend
the night somewhere before reaching your destination. Before leaving,
scope out hotels that are along your route, and bring their information with
you.
3. Food

It can cost valuable time if you have to hunt down a restaurant for every
meal on travel day. Like the hotels, look ahead to find out where
restaurants are located en route. Plan your travel time so that restaurant
stops will hit close to meal times.

Also on the topic of food – it’s a good idea to bring snacks, drinks, and non-
perishables (like granola bars and tuna packets). This gives you an option if
you run out of time and can’t stop for a meal, or it prevents having to find a
place to pull off and buy a snack.

4. Pack Light, but be Prepared

It can be a little tricky to be prepared while still keeping your packing light.
The key knows what to be prepared for. For instance, you can’t be
prepared for absolutely everything (or else you’ll end up taking the entire
contents of your home along with you!); but you can prepare for some basic
things. For instance, prepare for various weather events by packing outfits
that can be layered (you can add or remove layers according to the
weather). This saves space by not packing different outfits for each
possible weather scenario, but it still keeps you covered.

A basic first-aid kit is also a good use of your packing space. It doesn’t
have to be big, but it can make all the difference.

5. Book Your Hotel with Discount Journeys

Discount Journeys is a premium travel booking service that makes the pre-
holiday preparation easy and cost effective. Our flight and accommodation
prices, more often than not, can better the big names that have been in the
industry for years. Parallel to being an exceptional travel preparation
service.
