Summer is officially here now that Memorial Day has come & gone. We just got back from Jax Beach and had the best laid back days ever! We stayed at the Quality Suite http://www.qualitysuitesjacksonvillebeach.com/ and found
this place just about accomodated all our needs. Now that our mini-vacation has ended there were a few things that stood out and I would like to pass on:
Summer Travel Tip #1: Don't STRESS about getting there, while you're there and when you are heading home. Try to take on the attitude, "in a year from now will this really matter?"
Summer Travel Tip #2: One thing they had in the rooms was a combination safe which we used. I recommend when booking a place to see if this is an amenity they offer.
Summer Travel Tip #3: Remove your room key from anything that has the room # on it. Ask the front desk if you can leave it with them while out OR if in your possession & NEVER say the room # outloud where someone can overhear.
Summer Travel Tip #4: Call ahead to the restaurant & make sure they accept debit/credit cards. I KNOW this sounds lame however we went to a restaurant in Flagler Beach that did not accept anything but CASH. Lucky for us, I had put some cash in my wallet. We walked away with a dollar to spare and very satisfied bellies! Here are a couple sites to check out where we ate & found to be extremely good! http://www.snackjacks.com/ & http://http//www.cantinalaredo.com/
Summer Travel Tip #5: Splurge on a cooler to carry with you while traveling and at the beach. It saved us $ at both and that hot summer sun can easily dehydrate you if not careful!
Summer Travel Tip #6: Speaking of that hot summer sun, use lotions with a HIGH SPF #. I have an olive complexion and for the last 2 years I have used these lotions because I would have burnt. I grew up on the beach and that ol' sun is not what it use to be! Just remember...that gorgeous tan you are "baking" to acquire is tomorrows skin cancer OR leathery/weathered skin down the road.
Summer Travel Tip #7: To some this may not be an issue but I did not take my personal pillow and wished that I had. We had a king size bed but lil bitty pillows, like the ones that go on a couch!
Main thing to remember is todays moments ARE tomorrows memories so make the most of them! Happy Vacationing!
