Yet, many of us have heard of holiday horror stories. We may even have experienced one for ourselves. The key to a successful vacation is to plan well ahead of time. You will want to obtain any relevant travel and health documentation in advance so that these are all in order before you head off to the airport. Find out well in advance what preventive medication to take.
Malaria is, for example, a threat in many areas.
You should take anti malarial drugs a few days before hand. You should continue with the medication throughout your trip and even for a few weeks after you get home. You will also want to make sure you take insect repellents, ankle bands and bed nets. Researchers suggest trying to fix your attention on something stable while travelling. Focus on the horizon.
