Holiday Travel Tips

Plot connections carefully.
When booking flights, check your search results carefully for sufficient time during layovers, and build in some time for flight delays and weather woes. Particularly during the winter months, peak travel times often bring peak travel delays, and your connection is more likely to be jeopardized. Avoiding really tight connections may save you a sprint through the terminal or a missed flight. Also, it is best if you can muscle your flight path into position so that connections are in places less likely to experience delays -- specifically, airports in warmer climates. For more advice, see our Winter Travel Tips.

Leave early.
During peak travel times, much of the trouble you'll face lies on this side of the security check-in, from traffic jams and full parking lots to absent shuttles and long lines. Rather than striving to "arrive at the airport early," you may want to try to "leave for the airport early" to anticipate all the peripheral delays you may encounter.

Pack wisely.
In the past, you may have been able to fit everything into your carry-on without having to check any baggage -- a strategy we still recommend. However, the TSA rules about liquids and gels make this a trickier proposition. For the record, you may bring liquids and gels in 3.4-ounce or smaller containers, packed within a single, quart-size, zip-top, clear plastic bag. You're also allowed to bring any liquids (such as coffee or water) or gels purchased after you go through a security checkpoint onto your plane with you. If you want to bring more than the 3.4-ounce amount, you'll have to pack the items in your checked luggage.

Dreams Punta Cana

No matter what a kid's age - in fact, no matter one's age at all - small surprises are a delight, and when those surprises are wrapped up in an out of this world beachside resort such as Dreams Punta Cana Resort and Spa in the Dominican Republic those surprises can be downright "dreamy".

As you stroll along their 47 acre property there is a surprise around every corner - like the flamingos that really take bread from your hand, or a stand where fresh fruit is literally being cut up to order for fruit pops to go, not to mention the limitless supply of soft ice cream that you take yourself from a machine that churns out the cool treat or the friendly parrots placed on your shoulders. These unexpected moments are the icing on the cake when it comes to a family vacation, but Dreams also knows how to offer the foundation for a truly successful vacation, including top of the line service.
