As the COVID-19 vaccine becomes more and more available to the public, many are anxious to take advantage of the opportunity to finally break out of quarantine and get back to what we love most, traveling. However, it’s been a while since traveling was an option. Are you worried you won’t be able to plan your first post-COVID vacation properly? Have Travel Memories Vacations, the premier travel agency in Destin, has put together the perfect list to help you plan your perfect post COVID vaccine vacation.
Step 1: Decide Where to Go
Will you visit the Eiffel Tower or the mosques of Turkey? The world is a big place, and “I’m going to Europe this summer” is so ambiguous that not having a set destination in mind is going to make your travel plans and budget a lot harder to nail down. Plus, having a specific destination helps you feel more concrete in your plan, making it easier to commit to.
Step 2: Decide the Length of Your Trip
How much will you need to save to take your vacation? Well, that depends on a couple of things. In order to figure out how much you will need to save up, you’ll need to know how long you want your trip will be. The length of your trip is a big part of determining exactly how much money you will need to make it happen.
Step 3: Research Your Costs
Now that you know where you’re going and how long you’ll be there, it’s time to really nail down how much money you will need. It’s time to research the costs of your destination and how you want to travel. Will you be staying in local hostels, or would you rather stay in luxury hotels? What are the average costs of the restaurants? Are you able to find any deals on tours or activities? Take into consideration the things you want to do and the places you want to stay, and how much each of those will cost. Don’t forget to include some extra cash for emergencies!
Step 4: Set-Up Your Cards
Now that you know how much money you need and how long you’re going to be gone, you’ll need to make sure you have your various credit and bank cards. You will want to notify them of the dates you will be traveling and where to prevent them from locking your cards to prevent fraud. Additionally, ask your credit card provider if your card offers any Travels Rewards or may incur international fees. If so, you may consider signing up for an alternative card to ensure you have access to your finances throughout your trip.
Step 5: Book Your Flight & Accommodations
To make sure you have estimated correctly, layout the major activities you intend to enjoy throughout your trip and just how much they cost. This will also assist you in determining whether or not you will require any bookings ahead of time.
Have an outline of what activities are goals for you. That way, if you run out of time or money, you can focus on your top activities, so you don’t miss out. Also, confirm that there are no holidays or various other obstacles that will stop you from activities.
Consider working with a travel advisor if you can. As experts in the industry, they can provide a lot of insight into the best deals on flights and hotels and save you a lot of money.
Step 6: Get Packing
It can be tempting to want to bring everything with you “just in case,” but less is more when it comes to travel. You don’t need ten sweaters or eight pairs of shoes—pack depending on where you are going. Keep in mind that you don’t need to pack everything you own. You can get anything you need on the road, and you can always do some laundry. Just remember, you will have to carry everything you bring so bring less!
Step 7: Enjoy Your Trip!
And now—it’s time to go on your trip and have fun! Head to the airport, board your plane (don’t forget your passport!), and enjoy your trip!
