All Saint's Day and All Soul's Day is coming. And as expected, viajeros like you and me are trooping to cemeteries to visit their dead. And it's about time to review what we should do before traveling.
General travel tips:
(1) Prepare everything you need before trooping to your destination. It's good to have a checklist of your things to bring.
(2) Avoid bringing sharp-edged and pointed items such as knives, compressed gases like aerosol, firecrackers or anything that might explode. These will be confiscated by the police and cause you inconvenience.
(3) Do not leave your belongings unattended, especially your children.
(4) Keep your cool. We had enough of Rolito Gos.
(5) Have enough cash on hand.
To those who have cars, good for you because you don't have to rush to the terminals (and the bigtime rollback in gas prices). However, you should have these on mind:
(1) Check your BLOWBAG (Battery, Lights, Oil, Water, Brakes, Air, Gasoline).
(2) Have a good amount of rest before traveling. Don't take the risk of driving if sleepy. Find the nearest stop if you have to rest in the middle of travel.
(3) Inflate your spare tires. You don't know when you will need them.
(4) If you have somebody among your companion who knows how to drive, much better. You can rest and the travel would not be disrupted.
Those who will travel through public utility vehicles:
(1) Submit and cooperate to security procedures. It's for your own good.
(2) Ride to reputable carriers only. Sulpicio Lines, anyone?
(3) Be vigilant. As much as possible, don't entertain strangers. They might be Salisi Gang members.
And when you're on the cemetery:
(1) Do not play too loud music. Or better yet, don't play music at all. Not everybody loves listening to Gagong Rapper, Ely Buendia, Sarah Geronimo, and Diomedes Maturan.
(2) Do not bring playing cards, alcoholic drinks, deadly weapons, weapons of mass destruction and the like.
(3) Remember you're here to pay respect to your dead love ones. But also respect the living who are also paying their respect.
Hmmmm... Now you're ready to go! And one thing more: bring your common sense with you. :D

Thanks for sharing your list of car tips when traveling. We usually travel to relieve stress and relax. However, without proper planning, our trip would be a huge mess. One thing we need to check is our vehicle, we need to check our car for possible repair that would ensure that it's in tip-top shape. Checking our car's BLOWBAG before traveling is a good practice to prevent car breakdown during the whole trip. This will lessen our worries while driving as to which we check the important parts of our vehicle. This also improves our safety while driving. Additionally, we also wrote a blog talking about BLOWBAG as a fundamental car maintenance checklist that is applicable for travel tips and car maintenance in general. You might want to check it.
