Travelling out, especially for holidaying,
is a great fascination. All family members - ladies and children,
expect great thrill. And rightly so, because the main purpose
of going out is to get rid of daily chores. boring routine,
tight working schedules, long hours, missing meals and so
on. From holidays every one of the family has his/her own
dream. So detailed planning is done every thing is packed,
all schedules worked out, note made of every thing to be seen,
to be done. In short, one is mentally attuned to an opportunity
of great fun and frolic.
1. One may lose his luggage. So, the
prudent policy would be to keep at least one day's clothing
in your hand bag. Especially,
during flights, your luggage may not reach destination with
you. So be prepared to live
for at least one day.
2. You may lose your flight for any reason. Next flight may
not be available immediately. So, keep a contingency
plan in mind.
3. You may lose your struck in a strange place where conveniences
of life, food, may not be available.
4. You may meet with an accident.
5. You may be pick pocketed. Hence, do not keep all your money
at one place. It is a safe policy that
every member of the travel party should have some money.
6. If you are travelling to colder destination, keep warm
clothings handy. Nature will not allow you time
to unpack your luggage at the destination. People travelling
from warm places to colder places
generally have this tendency. I got exposure before I could
pen my suitcase on reaching Nainital
and put on warm wearings.
7. Avoid travelling to disturbed places.
8. If you are travelling without hotel reservation, especially
during peak seasons, you are inviting trouble.
9. Your vehicle may break down at odd place and at odd time.
10. You may not get food of your taste.
11. Titanic may happen to you in any shape. The travellers
on `sun Vista' would never have imagined
but it did come to them. It is not our intention to scare
you. Our sincere desire is to with
you a happy journey. But one should be mentally prepared for
any eventuality and thank his God
