Just to make your journey a little easier, here are 10 Quick Travel Tips as voted by our cruise and travel consultants at Vacation Rewards. Some are essential, like travel insurance, passport and visas. Others are common sense like obeying the laws of the country you are in, drinking bottled water or keeping in touch with the rellys.

For me THE most important piece of advice is to pack your own bags. Not that you would have anything in them that is likely to cause a stir (hope not!), it’s just that you may be asked by a customs official “what’s in there”.

This may be a little OTT for you, however be aware – it could be important.
