Are you and your family traveling this summer? If you are, it helps to be prepared. The difficulties faced by those who were stranded after the volcano eruption earlier this year was a reminder to many that the unexpected does happen. There is no way to be ready for all circumstances, but you can do your best to have what you need on hand for predictable things.
Hunger
You know that you are likely to be hungry when you travel, so why not think ahead and bring yourself something to eat? You may not be able to bring enough to feed yourself for days, but you can travel with nonperishable food like snack bars and dried fruit to stave away hunger.
Identification
If possible, leave your passport or other very important documentation in a hotel safe when traveling internationally. You can carry copies of these documents with you.
Changes in temperature
Even the most adaptable among us may find that when the temperature rises or drops we are less than comfortable. Dress in layers. Carry a sweater or light jacket, even if you think you won't get cold.
Pack smart
Keep travel size toiletries and undergarments in your carry-on bag, so if something happens to your luggage, you will be able to freshen up.
Buying power
When you figure out a vacation budget, factor in a certain amount of emergency cash/traveler's checks. You will want to have some cash on hand in case you cannot use a credit or debit card.
