However do not drink sports drinks in place of water. If you drink those, drink an equal amount of plain water. If you really don't like plain water, try a lemon wedge. You can even get a mint sprig at Cafe Orleans. If drinking plain water, don't forget to periodically take in some salt so your body doesn't lose its ability to absorb the water you're drinking.
Summer is the traditional vacation season.
Although it's much more comfortable to travel in the cooler months, many of us have no choice if we want to take the whole family. If that special trip is in your summer schedule, spend a little extra time preparing for the heat. That way, you won't be taking sunburns and blisters home as souvenirs. Don't forget to visit the Travelite FAQ for a comprehensive guide on how to travel with just one carry-on bag. If you already have a travel agent you like, I would go that route first.
