Golden Rules for a Great Holiday

Rule 1: Plan everything in advance. There is nothing worse than a poorly planned trip. Start right from the beginning i.e. deciding your destination to booking your tickets to the reservation of your accommodation. One important thing here to mention is about your packing. Make sure you pack all your essentials and spare clothes to be used incase the need arises. Rule 2: Be Spontaneous. Don't follow your itinerary as if written in stone. Try different thing like lazing on the beach to having an odd coffee at some place or just wandering around. This will help you to know the place better which you are visiting and add a zing to your trip. Rule 3: Don't try to see or do too many things because this way you will actually end up doing very little. Try having an accommodation at a central point and then make tips to various other destinations near by. Checkout a small region thoroughly than just visiting a larger region with very little time to explore. Rule 4: Do not stick to vacationer traps. Visit some local restaurants, markets, etc. where you will meet local people, rather than just bumping into other tourists. Certainly part of the reason for going on a holiday is to experience a little local flavor. Rule 5: Learn some word of the local lingo. Try to learn some basic words of the place you are visiting like greetings etc. This will be very much appreciated. In this way you learn something more from the place you are visiting.
