What kind of information will you need for trip planning? For starters, the types of accommodations available, the kinds of places to go and things to see and do, any special events that coincide with your trip, if the places you're planning to visit are family and pet-friendly and whether there are seasonal restrictions of any kind. In addition, if anyone traveling in your party has special needs, how will they be accommodated? You’ll also want to know if you’ll need to carry any legal or health documentation—especially if you are leaving the country. Check for times when the weather is best in your destination. There are times of the year, for example hurricane season that make some destinations undesirable during certain seasons. If your destination is a country where English is not spoken as the first language, it is advisable to write down some useful phrases ahead of time. Also, make sure you are aware of any cultural sensitivity so as to avoid causing any offence to your hosts. You can also double check with the State Department that your destination is a safe one.

Important Trip Planning Tips

In addition, you should find out the driving regulations or the availability and accessibility of public transportation, as well as other do’s and don’ts that might be appropriate in planning your particular trip. Your AAA travel professional can answer all these questions. Click here and discover the trip planning services provided by your local AAA club.

You might want to bring a list of questions, but don’t be surprised if your AAA travel expert has the answers before you even ask them! Be sure to have a tentative budget and schedule so your trip planning can be accomplished in a realistic manner, and make certain to mention any special needs, expectations or requests, such as if you plan to bring Fido. Especially let the representative know if your definition of “roughing it” is a room at a three-diamond hotel.
