When vacationing with children, set new rules. Your kids need to understand that there's a whole set of new rules when on vacation. While they may be used to a certain amount of 'freedom' when at home, this is not the case when they are in an unfamiliar place. Ideally, one adult should be in charge of one or two children at all times.

If you are traveling by flight with your animal, and you had to check your pet in to cargo, stand at the gate window and look for your animal being boarded. Be the last to board the plane, and once all of the passengers have boarded, request the gate attendant to radio the baggage area to make sure your pet was loaded.

Exchange your money at your bank before you leave for your trip. Large financial institutions often have the best exchange rates, and changing your money before you arrive ensures you can avoid long lines at the airport currency exchange or even worse, being left at the mercy of less-scrupulous exchanges which prey on travelers who need local currency fast.

If you are traveling abroad and are concerned about being eco-friendly, consider traveling by local transit or hotel shuttle to and from the airport. Also, walking is a great way to take in the scene if the location is suitable. There are many cities in the U.S. that offer bicycle rentals as a mode of travel, as well.

When travelling to a popular vacation destination, visit local tourism offices upon arrival. They may offer great tips on unusual or fun alternatives to the typical visitor attractions such as small festivals or museums not listed on the major tourism maps!

Familiarize yourself with the local customs and the laws of the country. Marijuana is legal in Amsterdam, it's not legal in the US. Knowing the distinction between the two could mean the difference between being arrested and being free to enjoy the rest of your vacation. It also may help to keep you out of trouble if you know the particulars about the local legal system.

When traveling in foreign countries, beware of police officers who ask for your ID. Make sure you ask them for their ID to prove they're actually a cop. Instead of showing them your real passport, show them a photocopy instead. You don't want to risk a thief running off with your passport.

Traveling to new places should be fun, not stressful. This advice will help take the worries out of your travel and let you have a great time. No matter where you're going or how you're getting there, these tips will help make your vacation a little easier and a little more fun.
