  It is not rare to hear about vacations that have gone horribly wrong. Nine times out of ten, these trips were a disaster due to a lack of proper planning. Don't worry about this happening to you, though. This article will address the most common causes of travel problems and give advice on how to avoid them.
  
  Make sure you research for hotels that accommodate pets if you plan on bringing your pet along. Look into many places before choosing one, so you end up at one that your pet will love.
  
  Watch out for faux cops or faux government officials in foreign countries, as they may be criminals. Do not ever give someone your passport; they may steal it. If they are insistent about detaining you, ask to walk to the office. Do not get into a vehicle with strangers at home or abroad.
  
  Try to pack clothes for your trip that can be worn more than once. One blazer or one pair of shoes, for example, can be paired with a skirt and then again with slacks. This will lighten your load significantly when it comes to luggage.
  
  Don't forget to pack clothespins on your next trip! While not on your typical travel list, a handful of clothespins can prove very useful.
  
  Stores tend to overcharge for these items, and the space saved is minimal, so save the money. Use techniques such as rolling your clothing or make use of vacuum packaging. Trying out different folding techniques will allow more to fit in your bag.
  
  Have some of your cash exchanged for the local currency before you leave the airport. Many times, currency exchanges have restrictive hours, and you might not be able to get local currency when you arrive. Almost all large banks will sell foreign currency, so get it before you go and you'll have one less thing to worry about when you arrive at your destination.
  
  Don't rely on the airline you're flying with to cater to your every need, even if you're going on a long distance flight. If you think they will come in handy, pack a travel pillow, a light blanket and comfortable headphones. Don't go hungry! Bring your own healthy snacks on the plane!
  
  Don't exchange your currency until you get to your destination if you want the cheapest conversion rate. Sometimes you are not able to exchange currency right away when you reach your destination. If this is the case, make a small currency exchange before you leave and take that money with you while you're traveling until you are able to change the remainder of it.
  
  Carrying an excessive amount of valuables can put you at risk for theft or interrupt the fun of your trip if they are lost or damaged. An excess of valuables will make you an obvious target for theft.
  
  Always bring the kids' car seats if you are going to rent a car for a road trip. When renting a car, you should always pack bring your own car seats for your children.
  
  Determine if you will need a Visa in order to go to the foreign country you are traveling to. Some countries have an extensive process to grant visas. Apply for the appropriate visas long before your departure. Don't forget that without the right visa, you will not be able to enter some countries.
  
  It's easy to see that planning well for your vacation can prevent your dream vacation from becoming a nightmare. With the information you have obtained in this article, it is now possible for you to enjoy your vacation stress free!
