This week’s topic is about luggage and tolls when traveling.<br /><br />So who's ready for a vacation? I am and I just got back from a recent trip! Now during the course of my freedom I was reminded of a few things that can help you when traveling.<br /><br />The first thing is packing your items. Most airlines will charge you for a checked bag and if you exceed 50 pounds, the charges can increase significantly. <br /><br />Therefore, weigh your bags on a scale before going to the airport. In addition, you can bring a small suitcase to carry in the overhead compartments as well as a backpack or a purse to slide under the seat in front of you.<br /><br />Now as a bonus tip, don’t overpack your suitcases and give yourself a few pounds of weight to spare. This leave additional space for items bought during your trip as well as food and drink that may accumulate before boarding the plane<br /><br />The next tip is regarding tolls that you may encounter when renting a car. Many rental car companies will allow you the option of paying a one-time fee that will cover all your tolls during your trip. <br /><br />The best way to determine is by doing the math to track how many tolls you’ll encounter and how much the tolls will cost. <br /><br />Keep in mind that when vacationing there are many occurrence that can cause delays in your planning that carve into your time that you planned for relaxation.<br /><br />Therefore, doing your homework ahead of time can reduce stress and keep a few more bucks in your pocket. <br /><br />Website:<br /><br /><a href="https://www.somethingonmymind.net/" rel="noopener">https://www.somethingonmymind.net/</a><br /><br />Social Media <br /><br /><a href="https://www.instagram.com/somm.podcast/" rel="noopener">https://www.instagram.com/somm.podcast/</a><br /><br /><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChec5qcZBcGkIhUU3belNDw" rel="noopener">https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChec5qcZBcGkIhUU3belNDw</a><br /><br /><a href="https://www.tiktok.com/" rel="noopener">https://www.tiktok.com/</a
