Wow that's nice

Ok since I recently travel I will gv u my experience..

Tried and tested

I traveled 3 cities jaipur delhi amritsar

First for booking flight tkts chk on various sites

And compare it directly with airline

Eg if u prefer airindia chk other sites then direct airindia

U will find difference

Plus sometime there r sales on ticket watch for that

Plan in advance not as last min as tkt charges go up.

For hotels same thing

Chk hotels on app

Work out distance from airport railways and city center or major sight seeing place.

Shortlist them.chk reviews etc

Then call the hotel directly

U may get better price if u book direct thru hotel.

Ask all transport related queries from hotel

And if car access is there as some hotels r in narrow lanes and vehicles can't go

Food is personal choice

Look around u may find some good places to eat

Stay safe means stay alert

Don't keep ur cash out openly.

Digital ka zamana hai

Payment use digital ways

Plus some hotels gv lockers

Put ur valuable in lockers

First try not to carry too much of real jewellery. Lots of good imitation jewellery works

Find out weather condition too before hand

Better travel light if u can

Shopping is individual choice

Look around bargain

Watch out for scammers

Try to get long journey transport via hotel travel desk

Not raaste ka PPL.

That way u will be more safe

This was my recent experience

I make a list of necessary items at first before packing. If you travel with kids it's must. For adults you can buy things but not for kids if they are below 5.

I don't like to travel to absolutely unknown places honestly. If some of my friends or relatives have already travelled the places and have pleasant experience then we plan to go the place..So we can take notes from them how, when and what to do?

To stay safe ..we try to return to our hotel room before 9 pm after dinner as ?

Agree with CB, only imitation jewellery

Try to keep cash in many pockets,..even in the secret pocket of my kid's bag too.

Agreed

Absent minded me

I also list what I hv to take lest I forget

Specially if there is medication involved

Start ticking when ur tasks done

And with kids under 5 be extra prepared

Small things if no one else in home

Make sure to close all taps gas electricity etc.

Unknown places I have been muski

But ask around u can get answers

Now with smart phones it's easy to translate

Don't stay in any shady hotels

Pay extra but find good hotel.

Ya roam around day time but return bk by 9-10 pm

Important stay hydrated

Rest well

No bhagham bhaag

If u get tired u won't enjoy

The most important part ...we must keep some necessary medicines and balm or gel too I get leg pain for too much walking during vacations. And some packets of biscuits too mera to clothes se jyada baby ke khana hota hai

I take extra bedsheets too I don't feel comfortable with the ones hotels offer. It gives me homely vibes

Lol looks like u and me traveling together

Abt extra sheets oh well u hv point there. Some PPL don't like hotel sheets

Me I get best comfortable sleep only on hotel bedsheets

One more like u said kids

While booking ticket buy tkts for kids age appropriate fare. It's less compared to adults

Same way if u or anyone senior citizen

Buy tkts on that fare.

It's discounted

Also for senior citizens who have difficulty walking long

Book wheelchair in advance for them

Airlines do give that service.

Exactly i do the same for hotel and flight bookings. See where it's cheap and call hotel directly or book or airline site.

For travel abroad, we prefer going by Kesari travels as we are vegetarians. We need not worry about food. And I don't like to be too adventurous and venture on my own out of the country. I have tried MakeMyTrip also but find Kesari travels better.

Within India we r on our own.

I have not taken package tours

Even for Europe trip as it was combined with some work we were on our own

Mmt I use for flight and hotel booking

This time I compared prices directly found a lot of difference..

So decided to take this way when we travel again..

Atleast when u r in unknown place u cant make out proper road location on maps

Asking hotel direct gives you better answers
