Planning a luxurious travel picnic is a dream of every Globetrotter. Who doesn’t want to make a travel experience amazing and worth remembering? Backpacking around the world, away from your home town yet finding excellent comfort is possible.
If you are a planning freak, you already have a planner ready for your luxury trip. But if not, here are some things you must consider for a luxurious journey.
Things you should consider before going on a luxurious trip:
1. Research
When you plan a short tour in your home country, it’s not hard to find places to visit, stay, and eat. But traveling outside your country needs thorough research. You want to utilize your time in another country by maximum traveling.
Starting from deciding a flight, buying a ticket, and finding a place to stay is quite a process. Instead of flying, you can book a ticket for a lavish ferry from the UK to the USA.
Apart from this, if you are planning to go to the US, you definitely need an ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authorization). Citizens of England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland need an ESTA to enter the US for traveling.
If you already have applied for ESTA, you should confirm to check my ESTA is it valid?
Because as long as it has been less than 2 years since you applied for ESTA and your passport is still valid, you are good to go. Confirming the validity of your ESTA before you go to the USA or even before you book a flight or a ferry is necessary.
Once you get an ESTA, you don’t need a visa to travel from the UK to the USA.
Upon submitting necessary documents and passing the eligibility criteria, you can have an ESTA valid for two years.
2. Planning
Considering you have made a list of places to visit and nearby luxury hotels to stay, it’s time to plan the trip.
Thanks to GPS and google maps, you don’t need to carry a compass and a physical print of a map. Check the reviews, menu, services, and photos of the hotel based on in which city you are going to land. If you wish to go sightseeing, you also need to find suitable transport with comfortable seats, sanity and music systems perhaps. How about packing for that all important trip?
