Long Island NY Vacation Tips
Anyone who has traveled on vacation to Long Island, NY will agree that there are a host of exciting activities ranging from canoeing & kayaking to boating & cruises. Whether you’re vacationing during the summer, fall, winter or spring season, there are a few vacation tips you’ll want to remember to ensure your vacation getaway to Long Island is a smooth one. Here are a few important vacation tips to consider:
• Make sure you confirm your vacation reservation in advance. This includes your airline flight, train, hotel, dining and other reservations. When you call at least a day or two prior to leaving, it will save you from a lot of stress.
• Creating a travel checklist will help you to stay organized and remember which items to pack such as medication, health insurance cards, video camera and other basic necessities.
• Along with your credit cards and cash, always travel with your identification such as your drivers' license, especially if you’re planning on renting a car.
• Keep your credit cards in a safe place and never write your credit card pin numbers on the back of your cards, always keep them memorized. Make sure you keep your credit card emergency hotline phone numbers handy in case they are lost or stolen.
• If you’re planning to fly, always pack a few essentials in a small carry-on travel bag in case your luggage gets delayed. If you are traveling with children and teens, make sure they have a travel bag as well. Items can include books, hand-held video games, iPod, etc. This will keep them occupied, especially if you are driving or traveling by train.
• Don’t pack too heavily. If you’re planning to travel with a lot of equipment such as golf, fishing and other equipment, think about shipping your larger items to the hotel ahead of time.
• Book your airfare and car rental. To save money when planning your Long Island vacation, you can save a few extra dollars by booking your airfare and car rental together. Some airlines offer special discounts when you book your airfare and car rental at the same time.
• Pack all medications that you take on a regular basis. Always pack a good supply of medication that will last in the event your trip is delayed.
• Consider all the activities that you will be involved in. You will want to be as comfortable as possible. If you’re planning to spend the day at the beach, think about what you are going to wear such as your swimwear, sun hat, sunglasses, etc. Don’t forget to pack your beach towel and waterproof sunscreen!
• Although Long Island has a long list of activities, take advantage of your hotel’s amenities. For example, here at Dreamers Cove Inn, we offer complimentary outdoor activities, incredible views and much more.
Last but not least, leave all of your worries behind you and enjoy your vacation on Long Island. If your ultimate goal is to see some of Long Island’s special attractions, make sure you plan and make reservations early. This will ensure a fun-filled and stress-free vacation. Happy travels!
