When you are on vacation it is hard to avoid the unwanted “Vacation pounds”! One thing I do to keep myself from having to hit the gym when I get home is keeping a food diary and using the book “Calorie King”. I know it may sound a little anal, but just jotting down what you have eaten really helps you keep everything under control. Having the numbers in front of you may help you opt out of that 3rd Pina Colada and move towards a lower calorie cerveza! The calorie king book is small enough to fit in your purse and helps give you a rough estimate of how much you've eaten. It also contains the calories and details of most chain restaurants in the US. However, don't let me spoil any of your vacation fun! Enjoying yourself by splurging on treats you don't normally eat at home isn't the end of the world! If you have to spend an extra day at the gym when you get back, so be it!

Do you remember when you were kids at amusement parks or other busy areas and your parents would pick a meeting spot in case you got lost or separated? I don't think you are ever too old for this idea and I like to use it when I'm traveling with someone and using public transportation. The trains in foreign countries are busy and confusing, and unless you have an international cell phone it is very easy to lose one another!! I always set the meeting point at the final destination. That way if someone doesn't make it on the train you both will eventually end up at the place you were trying to get to!

Recently, I was woken up in my hotel room at 4:30am! The person who spent the previous night in my room had wanted to get up that early, me on the other hand, had been planning to sleep in! From now on I have vowed to make sure the hotel alarm clock is not on before I go to bed. Learn from my mistake and do the same! Check out our cute travel alarm clocks at www.travelingchic.com!

Have you ever ended up in a hotel room where the curtains don't quite shut all the way and a little sliver of light finds its way right into your eyes?! I have a little trick to help you get the shut eye that you need! Use a hanger from the closet and attach the clips to both of the curtains to keep them tightly closed. However, if you really want to be prepared pack a sleep mask and you'll never have this problem! Check out some of our new styles at www.travelingchic.com!

Before I travel abroad, I like to make a pocket sized "Travel Cheat Sheet". Usually it includes Fahrenheit to Celsius conversions and metric conversions. I also like to have the currency exchange rate and I'll write down how much $1, $10, $25, $50, and $100 are worth. This helps making decisions while shopping easier, faster and less stressful. If I know I will be shopping a lot, especially in markets, I bring a small calculator. This way I can ensure that I don't rip myself off with a silly purchase. Finally, I like to put important phone numbers on it such as, my hotel number, the police etc.
