This time of the year, thousands of college students and young adults will be heading to exotic locations for spring break. No matter where your travels take, it is best to follow the Boy Scouts motto.”Be Prepared.”
These tips will assist you in getting started.
1. Arrive safely. Traffic deaths are three times more common at night than they are during the day. It is therefore not a good idea to drive all night to Florida or other sunny locations. Night driving is something you should avoid if you are unable to do so.
2. Secure your hotel room. Lock your door and keep valuable belongings, such as passports and wallets, in the safe. A portable door alarm such as the SABRE one, which is a manufacturer of security products, can be added to your security. A door alarm can notify you if someone attempts to enter.
3. You should know the name of your hotel. Make a list of the address of your hotel and keep it handy.
4. Be careful with your personal information. Never reveal your hotel number or room number to strangers. You never know who may have malicious (or not-so innocent) intentions.
5. Use the buddy system. You should never leave a party without a friend. However, if you must, you can always bring a pepper gel keyring. SABRE has one for as low as $15. It lasts for 4 years and can be used up to 25 times per minute.
6. Practice safe drinking. Keep one friend with you who intends to drink minimally. They will also be watching for your safety and may even watch over your glasses. Accept only drinks that you have seen being made or poured before.
7. Ask for help. You can call for help if you are in need. Don’t depend on passers-by to help you.
8. Make sure to drink water and apply sunscreen. Dehydration can result from too much exposure to the sun, which can lead to sunburn and skin poisoning. When you head out, make sure to bring a water bottle along with sunscreen.
9. Keep the lines of communication open between www.sabrered.com.
