Going on a vacation should never be stressful, but that’s what can happen if you don’t take care of the details beforehand. While it’s not necessary to make a complete itinerary for every minute of your trip, you should definitely have the big stuff covered. Here are some things to do before your vacation to ensure that you have the best time possible.

Transportation
You likely decide whether you’d be driving or flying when you first started planning your trip, but people often forget about transportation once they’ve arrived at their destination. If you’re going on a cruise, you may not even think about transportation at all. However, you’ll need to figure out how to get from Galveston to Houston airport. Getting a car last minute isn’t always possible, so book ahead of time. If you’re leaving your car at home for your trip, you’ll need to decide whether you’re going to rent a car or use public transportation during your stay.
Activities
Having some activities planned ahead of time can be very beneficial. Big attractions often book up months in advance, so waiting until you get to your destination isn’t always an option. Make sure you leave time in your schedule open to go explore, but it never hurts to have some things already booked.
Food
Eating out for breakfast, lunch and dinner every day of your trip can add up really quickly. You may want to plan to pack some snacks or breakfast bars to take with you to cut down on costs. If you plan on going to any popular restaurants while you’re there, you should look into making reservations ahead of time.
If you aren’t sure how to handle all of the little details, consider hiring a travel agent to help you. He can schedule activities for you, make reservations and book transportation. Be sure to get it all done ahead of time so that you enjoy your vacation to the fullest.
