5 Tips to Maximize Your Travel Plans is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Navy Federal Credit Union. All opinions are 100% mine.
We always have so much fun traveling! I had to go over some great tips I learned along the way to help you to maximize every minute of your vacation and the money you spend on your vacation.
5 Tips to Maximize Your Travel Plans
- Maximize drive time. Depending on where we go, it can work out several ways. When we go to the Florida Keys, we leave at 4 AM and arrive in Key Largo at 7:30 AM. This allows us to watch the sunrise, go to a nice breakfast and most importantly, we miss the Miami traffic! Then we make our way to the Keys!
- Leave the night before. When I worked my corporate job, I would always plan my flight for the night before so I worked the day I left on vacation. You can also take the red-eye so you arrive in the morning and start your vacation as early as possible!
- Be a good planner! Plan while you are home. Weather forecasts can be correct sometimes, right? On our last trip to Tennessee we knew it was going to be cold and to bring in the cold front there would be some rain. This way we always have something to do, no matter what the weather is like.
- Take time to rest. Don’t over-plan to the point where you are not having fun anymore because you are tired or stressed running to the next activity. You may find something you want to do that is not on the list and if you are overextended already you can miss out on something you were not aware of.
- Get a great travel credit card! I love using one vacation to pay for the next vacation! A great way to do this is with the Navy Federal Visa Signature Flagship Rewards card! Flagship features and benefits have been already receiving great rewards but Navy Federal made it even better! Whether you are using the card for everyday commuting or taking your dream trip around the world, the perks of this card are amazing!
- Receive 3x points on all travel, such as airline, train tickets, car rentals, and hotel stays. Any travel-related arrangements will qualify including everyday travel and travel experiences. All of these points means more to spend on your next vacation!
