Whether you’re headed to the mountains for some outdoors time, or to Hawaii for your anniversary, there are a few tips that will make your trip a great one.
What to Bring
A good bag that can hold: your sunglasses, a notebook, a pen/pencil, a snack and/or water, your mobile phone, a guidebook, and your wallet. Items may vary for the individual.
A raincoat.
Sturdy walking shoes.

What to Prepare
A list of the places you want to visit.
A list of the places you would like to eat at. This way you can visit places near the restaurant instead of having to walk across the city.
A budget. How much are you willing to invest in this trip?
What to Watch
The weather. Plan your wardrobe based on the actual weather, not how you want the weather to be.
Your money. Expenses can pile up fast. Take a tip from my mom and write down everything you buy in a small notebook to keep track. Or take a tip from me and use the iSpending app (Free!). Either way, just be careful with your cash.
I hope these tips were helpful and will help you have a super successful trip. If you want any more helpful travel tips, say so in the comments. I aim to help!

P.S. My birthday is in 7 days! Who is excited for the renovation reveal and me being another day older?
