LOVE these travel tips!

Travel - yes I love it - and hate it!   I have experienced my share of easy-breezy trips and my share of nightmares. My worst was having to spend the night in an airport, after a flight delay and missed connection - with a 103 degree fever. I have never wanted my own bed more than I did on that long, sleepless night in that terminal.   But that has not stopped me from booking my next trip!   

There are things we can control and things we can't control when we book a trip.  The key to having the best travel experience possible is to take extra steps to control what we can and maintain a sense of adventure and humor!   

This article from "Conde Nast Traveler" offers some great advice and insights to help insure your next adventure is a happy one!  

Including this tip that I plan to follow from now on...   

" Handing your most indispensable possessions to a stranger. You never know when you might be forced to gate-check your hand luggage. Place your jewelry, iPad, camera, house and car keys, medication, and anything else you can’t live without in a thin pack or pouch inside your carry-on so that, if you must surrender your carry-on to a flight attendant at the last minute because the overhead bins are full, you can remove the smaller bag and keep an eye on it beneath the seat in front of you".
