things worth arranging while you’re still at home

Check your passport expiration. If your passport is due to expire within three months of your ticketed date of returns you may be denied entry in some countires. Make reservations well in advance, especially during peak season. Call your debit- and creditcard companies to get to know more about fees for the countries you’ll be visitning. Get your bank’s emergency phone number to call if you have some problem with the trip. Make copies of important travel documents as a backup in case you lose the originals. For several long-distance destinations, look into cheap flights within Europe. For the best fares, book these as far in advance as possible. If you’ll be renting a car make sure you’ll have a valid drivers’s license. Download apps you might want to use before you go on the trip. Such as translators, maps and transit schedules. Visit a doctor to get a checkup on your health. Check your medical needs and be well prepared befor you leave. For longer trips, attend your households needs; cancel your newspapers, hold your mail delivery and prepay your bills.

Make a list of valuables that you’re bringing. Include serial numbers, makes and models and take a photo of your items to serve as a record for the police and your insurance company if anything would be stolen. Give a copy of you itinerary to family or friends.

BEST TIME TO BOOK

A PLANE TICKET 54 days before takeoff is, on average, when domestic airline tickets are at their absolute lowest price. And if you don’t hit 54 days on the head, you should usually book between 104 to 29 days before your trip. While the researchers found that 54 days was indeed the magic number for booking on average, they’re quick to point out that this isn’t a hard-and-fast rule: your flight’s “best price” window depends a lot on the specific trip you’re taking.

As all language do, the Hawaiian language developed over time partly in response to the natural environment. Hawaiians have overall 14 words that refer to ocean waves. Multiple expressions indicate nuance and specificity the nature of a wave, telling how extremely specific Hawaiian observations are when it comes to ocean wave behavior. Picture: Huia beach, Hawaii

Part water park, part relaxing retreat, Yunessun is not your typical oasis. Where else can you take a dip in your favourite beverage? That’s right… you can soak in a refreshing menu that includes green tea, wine, coffee or sake. A massive teapot and wine bottle hover over the spas, pouring out their rejuvenating elixirs.

BATTLE OF THE ORANGE ITALY Food fight! If lobbing oranges at strangers is your idea of a funfilled vacation, book your ticket for the next Battle of the Oranges. Every year in late February, the small Italian town of Ivrea turns into a circus of flying citrus. Legend states that the Carnevale di Ivrea dates back to the Middle Ages, when citizens rose up against a despised tyrant. Today, thousands of participants pulp it up for three days of good-natured juicy combat. Grab an oran
