There’s more to consider when traveling in 2010

It’s a new year and if your new year’s resolution was to take a vacation you may be planning where you want to go and when. Now is the time to start a vacation fund, and many credit unions have special club accounts to make saving easier. You can have money deposited into your club account automatically, or make deposits when you can, making planning your vacation a little less stressful.

And when you are planning your trip, whether it’s across the state or across the country, there are some travel tips you should keep in mind for 2010. If you are traveling by plane, arrive at the airport early, make sure you have all liquids and medication labeled and in a plastic bag, and keep your ID, airline ticket, boarding passes all in one folder and take all government issued photo ID certificates you can find, such as a drivers license and your passport.

If you are traveling by car, keep informed about the weather and road conditions during the time you will be traveling there, know where you are going by looking at a map or guide book before you leave your car or hotel, and don’t leave luggage or valuables in your car overnight.
