    Try to book early, the earlier the better so you can save money on all airfare, rental cars, and rooms and your package stay and Tours. It all adds up to saving and the more money in your pocket the happier you will be. Travel Insurance Recommendation. Don’t forget to make copies of your passports and leave them with loved ones just in case you loss it. Also, from experience make a tag on your luggage with some sort of symbol or Identification place it near the top handle and take a picture of it, save in your phone. Should your baggage become loss in travel, they will be able to find it in the sea of luggage….. in that (endless sea of bags!). Trust me it works!!!!
