Prepare yourself well. You must be thinking..”what do you mean? ” It literally means being comfortable from the moment when you leave and until you return home.
OK, easy say, right? Now what and how exactly do we do that?
Take time and do your homework before hand. Read anything and everything about your destination; culture, brief history, currency exchange rate, geographical location and the time zone. Good places to start are wikipedia.com (economical, social and political background), worldclock.com (time zone and main cities), tripadvisor (local hotels, restaurants and things to do), and tripit.com (build your virtual travel itinerary)
Tip #2: Aren’t you forgetting anything?
Things you must carry with you: Passport, Vaccination card, a hide away money belt, a minimum number of valuables. Things you must leave home: Social Security card, unnecessary credit cards, irreplaceable family objects. If you plan on using one of your cards (ATM DBC or CC), notify your Banking prior to leaving, so they can place a travel notification on it. Otherwise, it will automatically decline. Visit this page http://travel.state.gov/travel/tips/safety/safety_1747.html of the State Department website for more safety tips.
Tip #3: Be ahead of Schedule.
Always leave early, regardless of the transportation medium. It not only eliminates the possibility of any stress for you, but you’d be thankful you did.
Tip #4: Look like a Pro
Make an effort to relax; you will appear as if you’ve traveled all your life. Because appearance matters. Veteran travelers would tell you that they almost always commend respect from fellow travelers and locals. Plus, you’re less likely to obtain a higher level of treatment and more likely to be abused of, if you appear like a novice.
Tip #5: Be open minded
Being polite and open minded earns you friends and admirers. Although this is your hard earned money that pays for your travel expenses, remember that you are one of millions of travelers who move around the globe every day. Expect to run into some who may be stressed out, cranky or even rude. However, remain calm and polite, and you will feel better about yourself; ultimately, you will also get better treatment.

Want tobook the cheapest flight and hotel combo from Southeast Michigan to Sevilla Spain.Recomendations?
It's just for one person. I'd like to stay in a hotel that has at least three stars so i can hopefully sleep at night. Other than that however, I would like to spend as little as possible on the trip. What site might be the best to do that? Are sites like Priceline or hotwire rip offs or will they give me the best deal? I'm a poor college student trying to visit my girlfriend who is studying abroad for the semester, so any help would be very much appreciated. Also I was planning to go over my spring break which is February 22 through March 3rd, if that information is at all relevant. Also anyone who is knowledgeable about Spain and might be able to tell me how much i should budget for food, that would also be appreciated. Any other general info about this sort of thing would also be very useful, as I'm pretty ignorant about this whole process. I will be trying to book in the next couple days, so i appreciate your help.
