Social media can be a wealth of information, in regards to your travel destination. Keep your status updated and post comments about your upcoming trip and about the activities that you plan. Friends and even their friends, may offer insight into the destination or be able to suggest activities that you may not have even realized were available.

Here's a traveling tip: Search the internet before you book your hotel room. Why? These days you can see your hotel room before you book it, especially if you're staying in a resort. You can also see how close or far away you are from the beach.

As long as you can be flexible with your travel dates, search for flights using the broadest range of dates that you can. This search feature is part of most travel websites and doing a broad search allows you to see if there are certain days that are cheaper to fly on than others. Using this technique could save you a significant amount of money.

Keep a group journal in your hotel room while traveling. Invest in something as inexpensive as a spiral notebook, and allow the people you are traveling with to write in it during down time. This will provide an interesting read later and will be a nice keepsake from your trip.

Do not carry all of your credit cards with you when you travel. Only take the ones that you know you are going to need while you are gone. The same goes for jewelry. The fewer valuables that you take along with you, the less likely you are to have a thief take them or hurt you while trying to take them.

Check out alternative places to stay. You don't always have to stay in a hotel to feel great on vacation. There are many "house-swapping" sites available, which allow you to stay in someones vacant home. Try looking for cabins or bed and breakfasts. Alternate lodging can be some of the most interesting and fun parts of vacationing, so be sure to check it out!

For smokers who are looking at long travel times, you can chew nicotine gum or wear a nicotine patch. Although it may not be the same as actually having a cigarette, it should help to curb the urge to smoke. You can also bring lots of gum, and every time you crave a cigarette, pop a piece of gum into your mouth.

Traveling is something that most of us love to do, and many of us travel to various locations every chance we get. But it can be expensive and dangerous at times. Make sure you're following this travel advice before you take your next trip. You'll be thankful that you did.
