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.
- 95% of a tomato is water.
- A human can survive for about a month without food, but only about a week without water.
- 97 % of earth’s water is in the oceans.
- 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.
- The amount of water on earth has remained the same for two billion years.
Drink up and safe travels

Planning Your Next Trip with Atlas Travel Center
At Atlas Travel Center, we’ve spent over 35 years helping travelers turn ideas like the one in this post into fully realized journeys. Whether you’re reading this as inspiration for a trip you’re already planning or as the first seed of a travel dream, our advisors are here to take it from concept to confirmation — handling every detail along the way.
What sets Atlas apart isn’t just our longevity in the business — it’s the depth of expertise we bring to every booking. Our agents are specialists, not generalists. Many have personal experience at the destinations they recommend, onboard the ships they book, and with the tour operators they partner with. When you work with an Atlas advisor, you’re getting counsel grounded in real experience, not just what’s on a website.
Why Work with a Travel Advisor in the Age of Online Booking?
Online booking tools have made it easier than ever to assemble a trip — and also easier than ever to make an expensive mistake. The lowest price on a comparison site often omits a resort fee, books a room category you wouldn’t choose if you saw the photos, or locks you into a cancellation policy that offers no flexibility. Our advisors know the inventory, the fine print, and the suppliers well enough to navigate all of it on your behalf.
More importantly, when something goes wrong — a flight cancels, a ship changes its itinerary, a resort overbooks — a travel advisor is the difference between hours on hold with an 800 number and a quick call to someone who knows exactly who to call. We’ve been solving those problems for clients since 1987, and we’re very good at it.
