4 Things to not do when traveling

 Traveling is a real pleasure. This allows us to discover other cities, other countries, other cultures ... To summarize this brings us a lot. On the other hand, there are things you can not do to avoid clumsiness, mistakes and other mishaps. It can happen to us during a trip to waste money, waste time or miss things. 
And since we talk more often about what to do and see, I thought it would be interesting to list things to avoid. These are not necessarily things we think about, but who can really be wise to know.

Do not book at the right time
To book too early is to take the risk of paying very expensive and book at the last minute is to take the risk of not finding interesting offers ... It is important to find the right balance and personally I would recommend booking 2 at 5 months before the date. Especially for airline tickets, because this is the period when companies secure sales. Once your plane tickets in your pocket, book the hotel quickly. Generally the sooner you go, at the best prices you will find a room. Do not risk waiting until the last moment, especially if you are leaving in high season!

Exchange money at the airport
In most cases, the fees are very high. I would personally recommend you to exchange on site instead. Each time, I noticed that the price was more interesting abroad. Most hotels also give you the opportunity to exchange your currency which can be safer. Otherwise do not hesitate to go to a bank, but do not change anywhere. And even less in the street. It seems like a matter of common sense but I have already seen people do it.

Eat in a nearby restaurant a very touristy place
 That's something I learned very quickly. Restaurants near tourist spots sell you dishes at double the price for poor quality. The best way to taste the gastronomy of the country and eat well is to do a minimum of research.You have known sites like Yelp but can also do according to blog or youtube channel. If you are adventurous choose at random, otherwise ask directly to your hotel. In general, the receptionists inform the best restaurants in the area.

Do not bring cash

Do not take money in cash is pay by card and therefore pay fees to his bank. And depending on where you are, the fees can be very high. So obviously this problem does not arise in all banks,
Before leaving, check with your bank. If no fee is levied it's great, otherwise think of removing the species.

Hawaii

One of our favorite destinations for a family vacation was Oahu, Hawaii.  We have visited the island twice – once as a couple (prior to S) and once with S (she was 16 months old). 

Hawaii is definitely a vacation spot that you want to go for a week or more.  Our first trip we went for a week and it was not long enough!  On our second trip, we visited for 10 days and again we came away thinking it would be really nice if our vacation was longer!  The next time we vacation in Hawaii I am going for two weeks!   If you are able to take the time I would.  It is definitely worth it especially since the airfare is the most expensive part of the whole trip.
