On your next cruise, avoid the (crowded, expensive) exotic location.

Many travelers opt for cruises heading for islands and other hot spots. Why not try another type of cruise?

Cruises to locations such as Alaska are not only less expensive, but offer diverse scenery and a chance to explore something different. Preferable pricing and smaller crowds can allow the traveler to have a more fulfilling cruise experience.

In an effort to keep a hotel stay low key and peaceful, many parents may opt to downgrade from premium accommodations. However, this is one of the worst things a parent can do.

Children, like adults, can enjoy a dip in the hot tub, room service, and other amenities of staying in a four star hotel. Allowing the child to partake in these simple luxuries can help diffuse the restlessness that may often accompany a hotel stay.

In addition, it teaches children how to behave properly in "grown-up" situations, which is key for travel.

While utilizing packing space wisely is always a good tip, there's another tip that travelers often overlook: rather than overfilling suitcases and carry-on luggage, leave some extra space.

Many times during travel, people buy souvenirs -- from clothing to art. Leaving a little extra room can save the hassle of having to cram items into bags -- or having to locate additional luggage for these items.
