Travel today is a bit more complex than it was before 9/11. Everyone is safety conscious and that’s life.
Planning your trip is even more important than before because schedules can change, delays will arise and connections can be missed. Even the weather seems to be a more active factor. In recent days, volcanoes have caused days-long airport closures in Europe and hurricanes have closed US airports. Being ready for changes and having a backup plan is essential to having a more relaxing trip.
Today a cell phone or better yet a smart-phone is an essential travel tool. You can check flight times, weather reports, confirm or change car rentals or hotel reservations and communicate with anyone, almost anywhere without waiting in line. You can make payments, transfer funds and even watch a movie while waiting. A net-book, or tablet is also a convenient travel assistant that can carry business software, and essential documents as well along with a web-cam and other office on the go items. The realistic professional admits that some work is necessary on a vacation and is ready to respond, even on the beach. A digital reader with your personal library of e Books as another convenient tool.
Even if you’re headed to the tropics, a change of foul weather gear is a good idea. Bad weather and emergency groundings in bad weather don’t always happen in the most comfortable climates, so a jacket or sweater are good things to have ready just in case it’s Minneapolis instead of Miami for a stopover.
Travel today has a few more items to consider than before. Security and weather are more important factors than before and each has its own set of circumstances that need to be considered. Planning ahead and being ready for the “what-if’s’ will guarantee a good time, safe journey and good stories to tell later back home.Keep looking, there-s more: Oh, Mr. Weatherman…
