What You Need To Do Now

Spring may have just started, but believe us when we say it’s never too early to start getting ready for your summer trip.

>Going on a tropical vacation? Here’s what you need to do now to prepare for your trip.

Stock up on protection

Make sure you have enough protection for your skin. Buy s
unscreen for your face, your body, and your lips. Protect yourself from mosquito-borne diseases by buying (and using!) bug repellent. Pack a first aid kit friendship. with band-aids, pain relievers, tummy medicine, and other basics

>And, of course, if you’re planning on getting some between-the-sheets action, pack condoms.

Inform your bank

>Before you leave, call your bank to let them know where you’re going and how long you will be gone. This is so that our bank won’t freeze your accounts when they detect that your credit cards are being used somewhere you don’t normally go.

>It’s also wise to check how you’ll be able to access your money at your destination and what fees you will have to pay if you use your debit card there. You may also want to exchange your money for the local currency before you leave as airport currency exchange rates are notoriously terrible.

Research about your destination

If you’re going abroad, educate yourself about the culture of the place you’re visiting. While you still have time, read up on the history of the place, the food, the people, the customs, the must-see spots, and the best souvenirs to bring home. Knowing what to expect will definitely help you get the most out of your vacation.

>Buy summer clothes while they’re cheaper

>Now is the best time to go through the sale racks and look for swimsuits, coverups, shorts, tank tops, hats, sandals, and other summer-friendly gear. Save on your summer outfits, so you have more to spend on your vacation.n
