Those who are able to do it also know that sometimes it doesn\u2019t always go smoothly. You can miss a connecting flight, luggage can be lost, you could get food poisoning \u2014 any number of things can go mildly or teeth-grindingly awry. As with many situations, there are still things that you <em>can<\/em> control. Here are a few reminders and travel tips to put into practice whenever you\u2019re taking on another city.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p2\"><strong>Plan out your day.<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p2\">If the coordinating open\/closing and applicable transportation schedules allow, do your best to schedule sites and activities by region. This may sound like a no-brainer, but sometimes your traveling eyes get too big for your schedule\u2019s stomach. Next thing you know, you\u2019re lugging an over-packed day bag from one side of the city to an outlying area on the other side, trying to make a 4pm last-entry time. If you can avoid \u00fcberplanning at all, that\u2019s even less daily stress you\u2019re putting on yourself and any travel companions you may have with you.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p2\"><strong>Leave some open time.<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p2\">Plan a part of a day or a whole day where you don\u2019t have anything micro-managed to the last minute. Some amazing discoveries are made just by meandering around. It also helps you learn your surroundings more intimately and tune up your sense of direction via landmarks. Be sure that it\u2019s an area where you feel safe and that you let someone know where you\u2019re going.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p2\"><strong>Pack some snacks.<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p2\">Being stranded between meals or being stricken with hunger or low blood sugar can cause your sense of wonder to tank with neck-wrenching speed and make a day less than fun. Sandwiches, fruit, veggies, jerky, trail mix \u2014 anything that will travel relatively compact and can keep your body from digesting itself as you traipse around parts unknown. Non perishables and dry foods tend to work best and don\u2019t forget the water.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p2\"><strong>Pack a travel book and a map or two.<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p2\">You may not have a cell phone or the area you\u2019re going may not have adequate service if you do. Having a secondary or even tertiary map provides the ability to cross-reference in case you\u2019re having difficulty with scale or in case the legend is unclear or a location isn\u2019t included on the map. This especially helps if you\u2019re wanting to reduce the amount of time you\u2019re plugged in.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p2\"><strong>Remember why you\u2019re there.<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p2\">It\u2019s easy to get caught up in the desire to see everything because you don\u2019t know if or when you\u2019ll get another chance to come back and you don\u2019t want to miss or forget anything and you only have a few days and AAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH! Breathe. Take it in. Take your eye away from the camera viewfinder from time to time. Sit at a table and just look, smell, and listen. Give yourself the chances to experience the similarities and differences between this place and your regular surroundings. You travel to experience something new, so be mindful to remain open to it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Like Ferris Bueller said, \u201cLife moves pretty fast. If you don\u2019t stop and look around every once in a while, you could miss it.\u201d Be careful not to focus so much on getting the experience that you miss the experience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Travel is a tremendous privilege, eye-opener, and expander of personal worlds.
