Winter travel can be a tough one. If you don’t prepare for it, then be prepared for a disaster. It doesn’t take much to turn your vacation upside down, so we thought we would give you a few tips that will ensure you have a good winter vacation whether you travel by car or plane.
10. Plan ahead even though those winter offers a knock-out! If you want peace and quiet during those busy winter days, do yourself a favor and plan your vacation ahead of time. But if you want to save money, keep your eye on those offers.
9. Going by car? Leave a few hours earlier. The roads can be such a mess during the winter, you never know what to expect, so make sure you’re prepared by leaving a couple of hours in advance, just to make sure you don’t miss the plane or the reservation.
8. Pack lightly! Because winter clothes are so bulky, it can be tough to pack your bag. Remember, always pack lightly and always focus on staying warm and cozy. You can show off your new skirt some other time.
7. Go easy on the hiking. You’re on vacation to relax and have fun, but don’t try to be brave and go off on routes that will even the most experienced hiker think twice.
6. Don’t forget about the meds. Be prepared for when the cold strikes. Because it will! Catching a cold on holiday or immediately after you’ve arrived home seems like a rule. Don’t let it take you by surprise.
5. Pack a winter safety kit for the car. If you haven’t seen the episode of Discovery’s I shouldn’t be Alive with the couple who decided to take their infant son far, far away during a cold winter with their crappy car – you should. It should be a lesson to us all – spoiler: they survived!
4. Keep an open mind about the course. Things will interfere and you will need to change your course. Don’t let it get you down, it’s how winter shows it loves us, by throwing unexpected things at us and seeing us weep.
3. Have your card checked before leaving. Should I even mention this? Don’t go on the road unless you know your car can handle it.
2. Stay hydrated and stretch your legs. During long trips you can get dehydrated and your legs could get numb. Try to avoid it as it can lead to clog formation.
1. Enjoy the weather! It’s cold and you’re cold, but that’s the magic of winter. Enjoy it, because if you don’t, nobody’s forcing you to leave the house until spring.
