                       GETTING THERE – TRAVEL TIPS AND PRACTICAL 1 ADVICE

         Going on a trip to a far-away destination can be expensive and difficult. Fortunately, there are things you can do to avoid some of the most common problems.

                                                                BEFORE YOU GO

         Finding 2 out more about the destination you have chosen is not only a good way to save money and avoid problems, it can also be a lot of fun. When you read about your destination, you will learn more about the world and get ideas for places to visit and things to see. By comparing prices and offers, you can also make your travel budget last longer. Most hotels have websites where you can view rooms and rates and find answers to your questions.                          TOURS , TICKETS AND VISAS 3

        It is not enough to simply decide where you want to go. You must also consider when and how you want to travel. Travel agents can help you to find out about package trips that include hotel costs, tours and entrance tickets and to choose between different alternatives 4. Experienced 5 travellers 6 may prefer to make their own arrangements, but the advice of a travel agent can be helpful. The travel agent may also be able to help you with travel documents such as passports and visas.

                                      MONEY MATTERS

        Credit 7 cards can be used in most countries, but you may also need to bring some cash. Try to use traveller's cheques if possible and avoid bringing too much money. Always keep your passport and money in a safe place and make photocopies 8 of all important documents before you leave. If you need to buy foreign currency 9, it is usually cheaper to do so in your home country. If you must exchange money during your holiday, banks are usually better, cheaper and more reliable 10 than hotels. Never change money on the street or with strangers.

                                                       PLANNING AND PACKING

       Don’t try to do it all. Leave some time for rest and do not forget that a holiday should be fun. Choose the sights and attractions 11 you are most interested in and give yourself enough time to enjoy them. Make a list of what you need before you start packing. Seasoned travellers have learnt what they must bring and what they can leave at home. Travel light if possible and take a smaller bag or backpack that you can use for short trips and hikes 12.
