Ellis’ Travel Tips – Tip 7

July 18, 2024

Traveling can be so fun…until you get sick. It’s miserable to be sick while traveling. My family was on vacation last year and my son-in-law got COVID. By the end of the trip, we all got it.

Here are some tips for staying healthy while traveling:

  1. Get Some Rest: Try to rest well before your trip to avoid starting your journey fatigued.
  2. Stay Hydrated: It’s easy to forget to drink water when we’re out of our normal routine. Make a conscious effort to drink plenty of water throughout the day.
  3. Pack Healthy Snacks: Bring along healthy snacks like fruits and veggies to keep your energy levels up and avoid unhealthy options.
  4. Get Plenty of Sleep: Ensure you get enough sleep during your trip to keep your immune system strong.
  5. Practice Good Hygiene: Wash your hands frequently and avoid touching your face. This helps prevent the spread of germs.
  6. Carry Hand Sanitizer and Disinfectant Wipes: Use them regularly to keep your hands and surfaces clean, especially in public areas.

With a little extra effort, we can keep our families healthy and hopefully all have a good time as we travel this summer!
