No need for a top ten list here. My number 1 travel tip is…Drink a lot of water.
Whether you are visiting a cool destination like Antarctica or traveling to the Pyramids of Giza, carry a bottle of water. I’ve found that it’s easy to get dehydrated while on vacation. Outside of your normal routine, you might be inclined to grab a soda or alcoholic drink instead of a glass of water. Those are fine choices but remember nothing beats a good glass of H2O to keeping you going.
Ten facts about water:
- 70-75% of an adult’s body is made up of water.

- Water is made up of two elements, Hydrogen and Oxygen. 2 Hydrogen + 1 Oxygen = H2O.
- 75% of your brain is water.
- The average person in the United States uses 80 to 100 gallons of water each day
- Water boils at 212o F
- Water expands by 9% when it freezes.

Drink up and safe travels
