People often dream of a perfect holiday with white sands, blue beaches and so on. But traveling or sometimes even planning a trip can be a stress. Here are some tips to make your holiday a memorable one.

● Plan ahead. The first thing you need to do is to be sure of what you need from this trip. Do you want to experience the local culture or just have fun on those sandy beaches?    2    

● Read up before you go.     3     Buy a good guidebook and read up on the culture, history, local attractions of the place. You can read the local publications online or surf the Net for more information. The more you know, the better you can enjoy the place and its traditions.

● Pack light and right. Pack only the important things.    4     A heavy luggage may sometimes influence your holiday spirit. Carry clothes that are comfortable and right for the season. As much as possible try to put everything you need in a single carry-on bag.

●     5    Unreasonable(不合理的)expectations can lead to unwanted stress, so enjoy the holiday by managing what you can with the time you have. Enjoy each moment, whether good or bad.
