Prepare for the worst:

Regardless of the sci-fi shows and movies, nobody can see into the future. So preparing yourself for the worst is the best way to avoid vacation disasters. Keep an emergency fund ready and at hand in the event that you lose your money, are robbed, or come into an unexpected expense. Being in a foreign country without funds or a way back home can be disastrous.

Packing extra clothing in case of an extended stay will help to assure you have no problems if you are unable to do laundry. Also packing for different weather conditions can keep you warm and dry in case of sudden storm

Stay reachable:

Even though we like to get away, staying reachable is a responsible thing to do. Make sure your friends and family have the phone numbers of where you are staying. Give the front desk of your hotel or hostel your correct emergency contact information as well. In the event that you are injured while away from the hotel, they will be able to notify family member if you do not return in time for checkout.

Study local health risks:

They say never drink the water in Mexico, there are reasons for that. In some countries there are certain health risks that you should always be aware of and prepared for. Study where you are going, make sure you have all the appropriate inoculations, and know the hazards so you may avoid them. If you are going somewhere with less than adequate health care you will want to avoid hospitalization.

Get your affairs in order:

Nobody wants disaster to strike and we attempt to avoid it. While on vacation avoid stress and worry by assuring your life insurance, health insurance, and beneficiaries are all in line. If something were to happen, you will have the piece of mind that everything has already been prepared and is in order.

Know your options:

It helps to know your options for assistance during an emergency. Know where your local embassy is if you are traveling abroad. Find out what your options are in case you run out of funds, for instance, payday loan offices, banks, etc. Map out the nearest hospitals and clinics in case of injury or illness.

Knowing the local law enforcement will also keep you safer in case of emergency. Lookup and write down the address to the precincts and contact numbers needed to reach them.

We all love to vacation and relax, we all want it to go smoothly, but we all know anything can happen. With a little preparation and responsibility you can assure a good time with less worry. Don't avoid taken precautions before taking your budget travel.
