Just Joyous Travel
Okay, so I do not own or work for this or any other travel service. I am providing the following information simply as a SATISFIED CUSTOMER and FRIEND of the family who does run this website, the Welchs, right here in Washington, DC. I am not being paid to advertise or promote their site, nor was I even asked to provide a testimonial of their service.
That being said, the internet is FULL of options for gathering information on and making travel arrangements. What would set any website or agency apart from the "big names" in the field (like Travelocity, Orbitz, Expedia -- all great options)?
Well, as my dear friend said when she told me about her new website at Just Joyous Travel, "We offer the same great values as the highly advertised sites, and your confirmations come from the same travel vendors. Therefore, there is zero risk in booking through my travel business. I believe you will enjoy my site! It is one of the best travel and vacation websites on the internet today. And, you'll be doing me a huge favor. Anytime you book vacations or travel on my site, you'll get the same or better deals, and I earn a small commission. If you book through the highly advertised sites, you merely help them pay for their advertising."
And they offer a free newsletter called Steals & Deals offering travel deals in your inbox weekly! Go here now to subscribe to their newsletter!

Stress-Free Travel
1. Plan ahead:
There is no replacing good planning. To ensure that your travel will be stress-free, make sure that your flights and hotel accommodations are booked and confirmed. This will put you at ease knowing that delays are unlikely and there will be no surprises at the hotel desk.
If you arrange for transportation for the duration of your travel, all the better. In case, you will have to get around the city by taxi, it is good to ask the concierge to help you find a reputable taxi company.
2. Be prepared to get lost:
Remember that you are on a foreign land and unless you have already traveled there a couple of time, you'll have no way of knowing how to get around. Becoming lost is probably the biggest nightmare for travelers.
Before embarking on your trip, buy a travel book with maps and some useful phrases that you can use with the locals. Carry with you a credit card, identification papers and enough money to get around the city in case you get lost. It is also a good idea to ask your hotel for a business card which you can show to locals when you ask for directions.
By acknowledging that you can get lost, you can better prepare and be ready for anything.
3. Keep the communication open:
Nothing can be a better stress-buster than staying connected with your family when traveling. With today's technology, communication is increasingly more available. People who travel can now keep in touch through cellular phones, emails and text messages. Rates in international phone calls are also cheaper now than before.
4. Reward yourself:
Do not procrastinate. If on a business travel, make sure that you have done all your work before you go sightseeing. Set aside a day where all you can do is travel to different sights in the city. If your schedule is spread out, make sure that you have ample time to go somewhere. It will also help to make out an itinerary of places to see. You can always ask the hotel to help you with that.
5. Eat local cuisine:
Eating can minimize travel stress! So, treat yourself to local foods and stay away from your usual staple of burger, spaghetti and cola. Be adventurous and have fun in local restaurants. Before leaving, you can ask people who already traveled in the country if they can recommend any restaurants. Hotel personnel can also help you immensely. When you're there, don't hesitate to ask for the house specialty and enjoy!
6. Keep a travel journal:
Writing down your experiences during your travel will not only preserves the memories, it will also help you relieve stress. Describe the sights that you have seen, the places that you have been to, even the people you have met. Get small keepsakes from each experience, a napkin from the restaurant where you have eaten, a receipt from a souvenir shop, a bus ticket going to a special place. This will keep the magic of your travel with you.
