Travel Tips

 
If you're driving, do all your car maintenance before you leave: change your oil, check fluids, lights, signals, wiper blades, air in your tires and the tread. Make sure you have a spare tire and jack. And have your insurance card, registration, and driver's license before pulling out of the driveway.

When you're mapping out your drive, estimate travel times at the same time. This way, you can plan where to stop for meals, sleep, as well as avoid rush-hour traffic in larger cities.

If you take prescription medication, hang on to your original containers. It's best to travel with original containers; it makes it quicker during security checks. But I also think it's good to have two sets of medication, one in my purse and one in my luggage. So if I lose one, I have a back up. And since I save the original containers, both medications are in the proper bottles.

Just to be on the safe side, if you're going to bring your pet with you, you should also carry a photo of him or her. In case they get lost, you'll be able to identify them.

I always pack my clothes around a color scheme, so I can mix and match my outfits for any weather or activity.
