If you are planning a trip with young children, pack a cookie sheet or two. These sheets will be for the kids to play cards on or color in coloring books. If you are travelling with little kids, think about bringing magnetic toys like educational numbers and letters.

Find out if you are going to need a visa. Since obtaining a visa can be a time consuming process, try to do this well before your travel date. You will face serious problems and delays when you do not have the necessary visa for the country you are visiting.

If you're prone to forgetting things in the hotel room every time you travel, use dry erase markers to write reminders on a mirror. A paper note can easily get lost, but a note written on a mirror is hard to ignore. Dry-erase markers are great things to use when doing this.

Road trips are boring unless you have activities planned along the way. In addition to just stopping to eat and use the bathroom, activities give people something to look forward to and help make the trip more fun. Tell your kids the plans and discuss each destination along your route to keep them entertained.

Consider other types of transportation. Buses aren't like they once were. Buses are often inexpensive, clean and convenient methods of travel. Packaged deals can save you a lot of time and money.

Consider drinking only bottled water if you are traveling to another country. Many countries do not purify their drinking water and this water can cause many different illnesses. Don't forget to use bottled water when brushing your teeth either. You may get ill from using the tap water.

Use the E-tracking option that is available through some travel sites. This is the easiest way to keep an eye on fares and hotel prices. You are able to receive alert via email whenever something has changed with regards to your travel arrangements.

Before you head off on a trip, make copies of your most important documents. Place different copies of your documents in several locations so that you cannot lose everything at once. It is wise to have a relative or friend hold onto a set too in case your documents turn up missing.

Always have a contact case handy when you are out and about. These can be used to carry small amounts of gels or lotions that you may want, and save you a lot of space in your suitcases.

Wait until you reach your destination to save money on your currency exchange. Investigate the best place for you to exchange your currency in the country you are visiting. If it will take a while to get to the exchange location then you should exchange what you will need before you leave to ensure that you will have funds available until you reach the exchange location.

If you have designs on an overseas trip, but need to find savings, see if you can recruit some friends to go with you. Many travel spots offer discounts to people traveling with large groups. Group rates can save you a bundle on meals, airfare and more. See if friends would like to travel with you.

When traveling, there is a strong desire to sample as much of the culture as possible. Instead of hitting the buffet, check out the gym that many hotels include as part of your stay. This will keep you energized and fit.
