How to make a successful trip?

It’s travelling that has the maximum pleasure among all kinds of pastimes provided it’s wisely and minutely planned. Otherwise, the would-be trip will result in physical, mental and economical sufferings. Not only that your pocket will throw off a huge amount of money for zero amount of pleasure.

Anyway, if you’re a first time traveler, you must make sure about where you’re venturing to. You must ask yourself about whether you’re going to recharge your body battery or to be in touch with the unknown pleasure. Do you want all your family members get common excitement?

So, if you’re going for cultural heritage, South Pacific Islands are not the appropriate location. But for relaxation, that’s the perfect place. An all-inclusive beach resort might offer your family an unforgettable thrill. If you belong to a smaller group, you may search any intimate urban hostel. Prior to confirm your trip, you should possess a guide book and should go through all information regarding culture, rules & regulations and tourist attractions of the destination. It will not be wise to discover the pleasure in a foreign territory being in darkness. The most important factors you must consider before setting out is to collect updated and latest information regarding the immigration rule, visa requirements (you require or not), currency, endorsement, return ticket confirmation, validity of your passport, hotel confirmation, travel insurance, vaccine certificate and arrival cards. If any of them goes wrong, chances are there for you to return from the destination airport having the pleasure of air journey only.

Regarding clothing, you should take those items that are adaptable and carry-able into your carry-on bag. Better to carry few hand bags rather than a huge luggage. For, if you have a large luggage, you will be astonished to see your fellow passengers leaving you behind in the airport. And you’ll have to wait a long time to release your luggage. Carefully choose your dress or materials that are actually necessary for you during the trip. Because days will run in hurry and you’ll miss the items from the list. Just pack the significant items that are really necessary. Another thing, in a single city, don’t try to do or visit more than three things a day. You need to allow some extra time for traffic jam, bus break down, missed connection and other unwanted delays. You’re supposed to meet some unexpected people or events where you may have to spend a lot of time.

When you just arrive, try to stay the night at the same place. As you’re tired, it will be boring to transfer to another place the same day or to handle with the baggage. You may move the next morning getting afresh.

During travelling especially in the overseas, many unwanted and unexpected incidents may happen. If you get lost, approach a local person whom you think to be trustworthy. Suppose, you’re unable to read the menu (for different language), watch the fellow diner carefully and try to justify which food you need actually. If you’re stuck in the queue, look around at the busy people. Observe what they are doing, wearing and saying; you’re bound to learn instantly.

In abroad, you need to abide by the public sentiments. Remember, “While in Rome, be Roman”. Suppose in Asian country, women generally wear long trousers. Your wife will face public arrogance if she is dressed with the shorts at those places. You should try to eat what local people eat. Go marketing where local people do. Try to shorten the gap between your group and local people regarding eating, speaking, dressing, marketing, walking and above all communicating with every one you happen to meet. And don't forget to carry a "smile" for all.
