In fact, making a fuss at the security checkpoint is almost always a ticket to the express lane for the extra search.

Always keep a picture of your child on you. It is extremely frightening to become separated from your child. Though it certainly feels devastating, it is a reality for many. If you have a good quality photograph to show the people at your location, or the police, it can make getting your child back that much easier, and faster too.

For more exciting, memorable travel experiences, consider cutting down your budget.

Restricting your spending to bare minimums will allow you to get a realistic impression of the way locals live, at your chosen travel destination.

Scan your passport and email a copy to yourself. It rarely happens, but in the chance that you lose your passport during your travels, this will be a lifesaver. Getting a replacement passport can be a headache and having a copy can make the process much faster and less traumatic.

If you have a fear of flying and need a drink to help you relax on the plane, always make sure that you add two drinks of water to that one alcoholic beverage. The worst thing you can do is drink too much on a plane and get sick or dehydrated.

Try and get as much knowledge of the destination you're going to travel to before you arrive there. You want to have an idea of the things you want to do rather than finally getting to the hotel and feeling lost and bored. You can also ask hotel employees and locals where good places to check out are.

A desert contains lots of interesting places to look at as well as animals most people never get to see in their lives. Visiting the desert for the first time can be an especially exciting adventure; it's something you should do at least once during your lifetime, just to experience the awe and wonder of the desert.

If you're planning an expensive vacation or trip, you might want to consider purchasing travel insurance. If an emergency comes up or you or your travel companion fall ill, you don't want to be stuck, begging the airline or cruise company to refund your money. If you have good travel insurance, you don't have to worry about spending your hard-earned vacation money, laying around at home with the flu.

If you plan to travel with children it is best to think ahead. Kids are not the easiest to vacation with and will need quite a few entertainment tools to keep them happy. If you make a list in advance, you will know exactly what to bring when you travel.

When traveling by air, move the in-flight magazine and the SkyMall catalog from the seat pocket in front of you to the overhead compartment. Although it won't free up a lot of space, every little bit counts. This simple adjustment can add some leg room to your journey and help you be more comfortable on your flight.

When on a plane with a child, give them a lollipop at takeoff and landing. The child will love the treat, however the main thing is that it will help with the ear pressure and will help keep them from getting too cranky during this time. Once the child is older you can use gum.

When you decide to travel and want to make the most out of your time away from home, spend time now doing your research. Get a feel for what you are going to want to do at your destination. Make your reservations and dinner plans ahead of time to minimize hassle.

When you enter your hotel room, check for bed bugs. Even though this is probably the last thing on your mind, it is an important factor. These pesky bugs can get into your luggage and attach themselves to your belongings, meaning you can end up bringing them home with you.
