TRAVEL TIPS

It may be your first married journey together, but your honeymoon travels do not need to be full of rookie mistakes. Here are some ways to make the most of your honeymoon resources and a few tips for traveling smart.

Take Care of Home Long Before You Go Away
Be sure and plan early for household responsibilities that need to be taken care of in your absence. If you will be gone for weeks, put your mail on hold with the post office or have a friend or family member gather it for you. Reserve a place for any pets that need to be cared for, whether it’s with friends or a trusted vet. Don’t let a last minute scramble to take care of your home and responsibilities carry stress over to your honeymoon.

Shout the Good News
You are on your honeymoon and just about all the world loves a couple in love. Hotels, restaurants and even airlines are famous for spoiling honeymooners with freebies and upgrades, so be sure they get the message. Let every concierge, host, flight attendant, tour guide and booking agent you meet along the honeymoon highway know “It’s Our Honeymoon!!” You never know what their excitement for you could turn into…free champagne…a better table…a bigger suite. Anything is possible when you’re in love.  

Pack Lightly, But Well
Heavy, awkward bags are always a travel downer. Save your back for more exciting honeymoon activities then lugging around tons of ridiculously over-packed bags!
 
Make your travels a more pleasant experience by packing carefully in advance. You want to bring everything you need and dress to each occasion. Then again, you don’t want to over pack, risking clumsy, embarrassing travel moments. And don’t forget, you’ll want a little extra room for gifts and souvenirs.

Enjoy Getting There
You’ve seen it a million times. A vacationing couple bickering over a map on the side of a busy, tourist-covered street. Whether in a car or on foot, navigating with another person is one of the easy roads to high frustration. So what do you do to stay cool as you travel and adventure together? Stay patient, share the map and keep your sense of humor. Remember, there is no buried treasure or ticking bomb anywhere you are trying to go, so have fun and enjoy the process of getting there. If tensions start to run high, take a break. Get a drink, go for a swim, find a snack bar or do anything to make sure your team travels stay light-hearted and calm. 

Don’t Forget to Rest
You may be crossing many time zones to get to your honeymoon destination or you traveling just a few hours from home, but good rest is still essential to a great time. Many honeymooners will be arriving straight from a big, stress- and family-filled wedding day and exhaustion is normal.
 
Don’t be shy about getting some extra hours of sleep in the arms of your baby, napping by the beach or lounging for hours on end in the pool. It’s tempting to jump in and see all the sites right away, but take time to relax as well. Make sure you are able to bring your energy and sense of humor along for the adventure by scheduling plenty of downtime.

Stay Safe and Secure
Don’t be a target for thieves. Use safes in hotels to protect valuables and important travel documents, like tickets and passports. Don’t leave wads of cash in your shorts on the beach while you frolic in the ocean. Carry money with you smartly and, despite the love struck smile on your face, try not to look like an easy mark for criminals who prey on naive tourists.
 
Be a savvy traveler and watch out for your things and each other as you travel in a new place. Don’t trade romantic honeymoon days for hours of paperwork at a local police station.
 
Is there a benefit in purchasing travel insurance? 
Absolutely. In life, we never know what is going to happen. Trip insurance offers you protection if you have to cancel due to injury, sickness, or death to you, a traveling companion, or immediate family member. It does not cover unstable, pre-existing conditions. Additionally, it provides emergency assistance while you are on your vacation.
