One of your friends just returned from a weeklong trip and is telling you all about it. Hearing her reminisce about her journey makes you want to go on one yourself.  So, you do just that and go on a weeklong trip! After taking care of the basics of travel, you are now wondering what else is there to do.

Here are some things you can do on a weeklong trip.  The last thing anyone needs is to get bored or exhausted on their journey.

Research or Choose Sightseeing Options

Decide which sites and how many you want to see ahead of your trip.  Do pace yourself; remember, it’s not a race. If you are traveling in a group or with family, a couple of days before the trip, pick two places you want to see together.

 Nearby Restaurants

Knowing what restaurants are nearby and having a few options always helps. Most hotels include complimentary breakfast, and some even have their restaurants.

Local Events Taking Place

Many times, your chosen destination could be having an event, and it's a good idea to attend even one because it helps you learn about that country’s culture. Or even if it is a domestic trip, definitely check it out.

Weather Forecast

Before embarking on your trip, check the weather, which will help you pack accordingly.

Relax on Your First Day

If you have a long flight, the best thing to do is rest.  Maybe take a nap before heading out for the day or evening.  Hydrate, take a pleasant stroll and avoid staying out too late.  You don’t want to tire yourself too much. 

The last step is to enjoy your trip!
