i do the same things as you.i think making a good preparation before going out is a good habit,which avoids you unexpected situations. when you get fimilar to the place you decide to go,you will have a good time,without worrying about forgeting this or that.

I love to travel to different countries. There are many places on my travel wish list. I go to one of the destinations that I wish to go. It will take me many years to go right through my travel wish list. For example in 2004 I looked at my list and said I want to go to the Seychelles. I read a travel guide book on it and looked at some travel guide books. Then I went to the Seychelles and spent time on three different islands. In 2005 I looked at my list and said I would like to go to Central America. I read some travel guide books about that region. Sadly there was a hurricane and my flight to Mexico was canceled. I rang a travel agent and said I wished to get a flight to a tropical destination. She told me she had a flight to the Maldives so I said yes please. I rushed to my local library to get a travel guide book. Then I saw the very expensive prices. Off I went to the Maldives as an independent traveler and I spent lots of money. In 2006 I still dreamed about visiting Central America. So I finally managed to go off to Mexico, Belize and Guatemala. I booked a flight for June 2010 to Halifax in Canada. I read travel guide books about Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island. I looked at web sites about those regions of Canada. I got my baby daughter a passport. Last week the travel company I booked with went out of business. I hope to get my money back in a couple of weeks. I was really sad about my flight being canceled. So I booked a flight for June 2010 to Vancouver. I have began reading some travel guide books and Internet sites about it.
