Taking a 2 week vacation to Washington, DC for Xmas and New Years. Advice on planning the trip.?
I am going to visit my friend who lives with her 2 year old son for Christmas and New Year’s. It’s a 2 week trip and I have never before taken a trip alone and the last time I traveled was about 8 years ago. Do you have any advice for planning the trip such as how soon I should book my flight, what I should take for sure, ideas on what to do, etc.? Any and all help is muchly appreciated!!!
You absolutely should book your flight right away. That is the travel time that is most busy. You can get many answers from a local travel agent, or from your friend. I’ve also added a resource to give you all the tourist information you need for your trip.
A great way to book flights is online with one of the many price comparison services. There is a fantastic one on the first site listed below, called kayak. What it does is search all the popular airline booking services at once.
Washington is a fantastic place to go. I used to go there with my mother every year when I was a kid. Favorite place was probably the Smithsonian.
And don’t worry about traveling alone. Just leave yourself plenty of time to catch your flight (at least two hours before, preferably three during peak travel season), and enjoy the experience. Have a good mindset and the stress turns into excitement.
