![]() 1. Many Endless Vacations resorts offer the opportunity to buy event tickets or sign
up for tours through an on-site concierge. Check with the resort before you arrive
to see whats available, and if advance reservations are needed.
2. Confirm your travel and activity reservations before you leave. If you think you'll
arrive after the scheduled check-in time, notify your resort and find out if any special
instructions are needed.
3. Don't wait until the last minute to purchase travelers checks. Pack (in a separate
place) contact numbers in case your credit cards or travelers checks get lost or stolen.
4. If you'll be leaving the country, make two copies of each traveler's passport. Leave
one copy with a friend or family member; take the other with you and store it in your
resort safe.
5. Check the weather at your destination a day or two before your departure. Many websites,
such as www.weather.com, offer quick and easy ways to access a forecast almost anywhere.
6. Pack important items in your carry-on that you may need if your bags get delayed (medications,
travel documents, etc.).
7. If you are driving (or renting a car to get from airport to resort), consider visiting
a website such as www.mapquest.com for directions and approximate driving times. Then
have a GPS or road atlas handy, if possible, to help for those times when you accidently
venture off course.
8. Nothing beats a comfortable pair of shoes when youre pounding the pavement all day.
Buy shoes with good support, and wear them in sufficiently, before you hit the museums
and galleries.
9. Many groups offer audio walking tours for popular historical/cultural sites, easily
downloadable anytime to your iPod or mp3 player.
10. You may be headed to a resort with the comforts of home, but that doesn't mean you
have to take your home with you. Many things may be bought during a quick visit to
the grocery store, either right before or after you check in.
