sure plan out your route and have a map on hand in case you go off track. even when flying or going by train, make sure you know exactly where your final destination is and directions to get there.
prepare your entertainment- there's nothing worse than being stuck in a car, on a train or on a plane with nothing to do -and in-flight movies only go so far. it's a good idea to make sure you have a lot of things to do, whether that's a long book to read, games to play, or movies to watch. and don't forget, sleeping is a great way to pass the time too!
