Getting Ready for my Dream Vacation

Paying for the trip: To afford this trip, I should start saving now.  I do not want to miss out on any experience just because there is not enough money budgeted for it.  I plan to set aside a certain amount of money from each pay check to ensure that I will have the money to go.  

Education: When travelling to a foreign land, it is important to learn about the culture and language of the locals because I do not want to offend the locals. To learn about the culture on the BVI, I can read other traveller’s blogs and also information about the BVI that was posted on websites. Culture of the British Virgin Islands 

BVI Summer Festival: a large festival celebrating the abolishment of slavery in 1834. For three weeks islanders can be found dancing, participating in parades, and attending live shows.More on the British Virgin Islands

Safety: Before deciding on the BVI as my dream vacation, I did my research to make sure that it is a safe tourist destination. As a tourist, you stand out to the locals; making yourself vulnerable to crime and this is unavoidable no matter where you go.  The research I collected shows that the BVI appears to be a relatively safe tourist destination.

Being safe, rather than sorry: Because we plan to be out of the country for at least a week, travel insurance is very important.  In addition, it is important to have a little emergency money in case something unexpected happens. Before leaving, it is important that all vaccinations are up to date as well.  Health Information for Travelers to British Virgin Islands
