HELPFUL TRAVEL TIPS

DON'T GET STUCK!

Don't assume the four-wheel drive SUV you've rented for your trip is free to go just anywhere! Most rental agreements exclude "dirt road" coverage. If you get stuck, you may be required to pay for towing and any damage done to the vehicle.

CHECK YOUR BAGS!

Be sure to check your airline's baggage weight limits before you leave home. Low-cost airlines such as Ranair can charge $100 or more for excess baggage. Sometimes you end up paying more than the ticket itself!

DOLLARS & CENTS ON SPF!

Before you leave home, buy the sunscreen you'll need at your local pharmacy. The cost is half the price charged at most resort gift shops.

BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY!

Always reconfirm your airline reservations before leaving. Changes may have been made to your schedule or flight number.

A LITTLE GOES A LONG WAY!

Local specialty foods make great souvenirs. Grocery stores are the best and least expensive places to find them. Chocolate-covered macadamia nuts from Hawaii, beautiful tea tins from England, pots of mustard from France, or bottles of infused olive oil from Italy are just a few examples your friends and loved ones can enjoy!

ROLL-IT-UP!

Rolling your clothes in your suitcase instead of folding them allows for more clothes - and less bags!
