Lets Go Software Releases Tips On How to Have a Safe Vacation
Every year thousands of Americans have their vacations ruined by a combination of poor planning and improper safety practices. To help its members protect themselves and their belongings throughout the duration of their trip, Lets Go Software has released the following vacation safety tips:
Airport Safety – If you’re traveling overseas via plane, the first thing you’ll have to worry about is airport safety. Never leave your luggage unattended while checking in for your flight, and make sure you do not put your luggage on the conveyor belt until you have been cleared by security. Many people have had their luggage stolen or accidentally picked up by someone else while they were stuck being examined by security agents.
Foreign Driving Safety – Because driving circumstances vary depending on location it is important to throughly research driving conditions and practices before visiting another country. Keep in mind that traffic signals and laws are different for each country, so if you’re going to be driving a rental vehicle it would be wise to purchase a driver’s guide/road map and study it before setting out on your first adventure. Likewise, it is important to familiarize yourself with the features/controls of your rental car before leaving the lot. Purchasing a cell phone would be wise if you don’t already have one, as you never know when you could find yourself broke down with no way to call for help. When planning for your trip it is important to take travel times into consideration, as you don’t want to find yourself speeding on unfamiliar roads in a rush to make it to an upcoming reservation. Because bad neighborhoods can easily masquerade/double as tourist destinations in foreign countries, it is extremely important to lock your vehicle after parking it, regardless of the surrounding scenery.
Tourism Safety – Criminals in foreign countries often make a hobby out of searching for the next vulnerable tourist, with the logic that travelers have lots of money. For this reason it is important to wear modest clothing and refrain from flaunting expensive jewelry when touring about the town. Reserve your finest gear for your restaurant reservations and dress casually when exploring a new area. Instead of venturing out into the world by yourself, try traveling with tourism groups in shuttles or guided tours, as this will not only ensure your safety, it will also give you a more informative view of the local attractions.
