Travel Tip - Don't forget your mask.

Regardless of what you might think about mask mandates, they seem to be here for the immediate future. It'd be a shame to take a nice vacation and not be allowed into some of your desired spots. So don't forget that little mask when packing!

Travel Tip - Learn your history.

When traveling to a new place, read up on the history. Some of the most memorable details about a destination are about the history. You'll feel more present when you learn about the past.

Travel Tip - Be careful of the wildlife.

If you're traveling near national parks or around hiking spots, beware of the wildlife. Don't feed wild animals around your BnB because they could become more comfortable approaching humans, which could be dangerous for both of you.

Just a friendly reminder about keeping track of valuable items during your travels. Expensive items such as tablets, e-readers, GPS devices and more during a trip is key. This author recently left an e-reader and a GPS in the seat pocket of a plane, and unfortunately, they are gone forever. This was quite a costly mistake. Keep your valuables handy, in sight, and don't forget to collect your valuable items in your hurry to deplane, or return a rental car.

Traveler's Tip - Create Fond Memories and Live a Little
