ALWAYS HAVE A BACK UP PLAN

ALWAYS HAVE A BACK UP PLAN

What would be worse than to have taken months or even just weeks of great vacation and travel photos only to lose them. If you only have them saved on the memory card in your camera and your camera gets lost or damaged. I would I would be so upset with myself for not having the photos stored someplace else. You have a few great options.



If you are traveling light the easiest and cheapest way to go is to get a few 8 GB Memory Card.
SanDisk 8GB SD High Capacity Card (SDSDB-008G-B35)


Is a good product and it is cheap. At 8 GB you can take a lot of good quality photos and every week or so send the Memory Card home for safe keeping.
Second options is if you are bringing your laptop is can save your files directly to your laptop, althought I think there are better options such as online storage accounts like dropbox where you can store your files. This is a great option if you are working on the road and need to access your photos or work files from anywhere.
The Third option is if you are bring your laptop get an external hard drive like the Seagate Go Flex.


Seagate GoFlex Satellite Mobile Wireless Storage 500 GB USB 3.0 External Hard Drive STBF500101 Black


I think this version of the Seagate Go Flex is the best because you can wirelessly stream to your iPad, Sync your media library and documents on your PC or Mac, Stream 3 different movies over Wi-Fi simultaneously to 3 iPads, and you can stream up to 5 hours of video on a single charge. Talk about making life easier on the road.

WHAT I WISH I KNEW BEFORE WHEN TRAVELING

Recently my friend introduced me to this amazing product that I had to share. I wish I had known about this product when we were hiking five days straight in the Australian rainforest. There was no running water to shower in you definitely do not feel like you look your best by day three. Baby wipes and peroxide pads are great for your skin, but what do you do for your hair????

My friend introduced to me the idea of a dry shampoo.
Sauve puts out a great product at a great price.




Spray generously on roots and throughout hair then brush through. The dry shampoo contains keratin that absorbs the oils in your hair to refresh your hair in between washes. Also, great for extending blowouts. I am a fan.

Be a Little Flexible with Travel Days... Save Money.

If you can be a little flexible with Travel Days – Prices are based on supply and demand, so sometimes it’s much cheaper to leave the day before (or after) instead. Look around the dates of your travel plans and see if spending an extra day is worth it. This makes a difference especially around major holidays. In addition Expedia has tools that you can add travel destination and Expedia will alert you when great travel deals come up.

Another saving tool is to book as a bundle – Often if you Book your flight and hotel together you can get better discounts. The more business you give these third party companies the more offers they can give you.

Off- season travel is always great option. First off there are less other people traveling and better pricing. Often hotels and airlines jack up the pricing during the high season because there is so much demand. Even if it is the shoulder season to high season you are still going to find deals.

IF YOU CAN HELP IT… TRAVEL LIGHT

IF YOU CAN HELP IT… TRAVEL LIGHT

I know every woman wants to have her curling iron, blow dryer and her ten favorite pairs of shoes with her on vacation, but if you can travel light it will make your trip much easier. No checked bags to get lost or missing at baggage. No extra fees FOR checking luggage. No waiting at the airport to pick up your luggage at the baggage claim. You walk off the plane and you are on your way to your next destination. Plus you have everything you need on the plane with you. This is also is a plus if your first flight is delayed and you miss your connecting you have everything with you so there is no worry of your luggage making the connecting flight. I have a friend who three out of five times when he travels his suitcase is lost at the airport for half the trip. One might learn the second or third time (but he got $500 each time so the choice is yours to make)

Side note:
If you are going to one resort town for two weeks I say bring whatever you want. Unpack, move in, relax, and take your time. I loved staying in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico for two weeks. I ran in the morning, laid poolside during the day, went on fun adventures during the afternoon, made friends from NYC, had amazing dinners oceanside at night and that was phenomenal. Very different from my backpacking trips.

HAPPY TRAVELS!!

DO NOT BRING ANYTHING YOU CANNOT AFFORD TO LOSE…THIS MAY INCLUDE YOUR HUSBAND

Travel can be fun, but it can have its challenges. Do not bring anything you cannot afford to lose. Nothing would ruin a trip more than you lose your grandmother’s ring or crush a pair of Chanel sunglasses. Leave at home anything that would be heartbreaking to break, lose or have stolen.

This might include your husband… lol just kidding, but if you do not travel well together it might be best he does his own fishing trip :)

HAPPY TRAVELS!!!
