Hope for the best, prepare for the worst is my travel motto! I of course want all my travel to go smoothly but life isn’t smooth 🤣 To ease some of my travel anxiety these are a few things I do to prepare for the worst. 1. Air travel- build in 2-3 hour layovers, fly airlines with other flights out or alliance members just in case yours gets cancelled, double/triple check your seats before boarding they can randomly change. 2. Hotels-if you book through 3rd party call hotel to confirm reservation, if you will arrive late let the hotel know so they don’t give your room away! 3. Carry on only- I would rather know for a fact my bags are going to make it. 4. Transfers-make sure you have the main offices number as well as the drivers (if they allow it) that way you can get ahold of someone if no one is there to pick you up 5. Visas and entry requirements— check your 6 month validity on passport. 6. Bring pepto, anti nausea and anti diarrhea.
