What’s Your Tip?

by Holly Godbey

Jun 25, 2010

Over the past several weeks, the GT staff has used the blogs to share some of our favorite travel tips with you. And we will keep giving you our tips of the trade. However, I was reading an article a few days ago, where travelers were sharing their travel beauty tips – which product to use on their skin, essentials they never hit the road without, etc. And it got me thinking — each of you is an expert traveler, so what’s your travel tip? We could all learn a thing or two from you, so please share them with us by leaving a comment below. While I don’t necessarily travel with a travel-specific beauty regime, I do make sure my contact lenses case, solution and glasses are handy whenever I board a flight. The first few times I traveled long-haul, it slipped my mind to ensure I could easily access those three items, and my eyes were angry at me later. Not only did the air dry my eyes out, but sleeping in my lenses was uncomfortable. By the time I got off the flight ready to start my day, my eyes were heavy and needed a break. Not very efficient when you want to hit the ground running! So, along with my passport, those are some items I am sure to keep nearby. Most of my travel habits were acquired in a similar fashion – learning from my other rookie mistakes and adjusting accordingly. Like the first time I lost my luggage in which I had packed my prescription. I was stuck without a change of clothes and without my medication for a day and a half. Now if I have to check my luggage, my prescriptions are always in my carry-on, alongside a change of clothes! I’m always open to suggestions on how to make my travels more hassle-free, and I’m eager to hear what you have to share! — Kim Krol, eFlyer editor, circulation and public relations executive
