Preparing for Your Trip?

There are four easy tips that can help you prepare better for your next trip.

Hey there, I will show you in this section the most practical “easy to use” steps for
the next trip that you have in mind. Remember that we usually prepare our clothes,
toothbrush, shoes, flying tickets, reservation.. etc, everything for the next couples
weeks outside home, but we usually forget to prepare our camera for
the next couples weeks, like it or not (and for experience) you end in your
first week of your vacation buying a 35-mm disposable camera or a new expensive
memory card and end up with less money in your pocket. Don’t miss any-moment
with this tips!!! please I beging you… follow up this tips, you’ll thank me!!

Batteries

Charge them, pack them, use them

Don’t forget before go to sleep, charge the batteries, but if they are almost full or
1/2 full, maybe isn’t a good idea to recharge them yet, but consider to take with you
a replacement for your batteries. If you use a non-rechargeable batteries, you have
to make sure buy a new pair before leave to your trip.

Remember if you have a rechargeable batteries, you have to make sure bring with
you the battery charger for your trip. Make sure if you go outside of the USA, bring a
transformer for the battery charger, because you may have the problem of different
volts (110v – 240 v).

How many memory cards?

Be prepare for your next trip

I always suggest to my friends when they buy their new digital camera, buy an extra
memory card beside the one with comes with their digital camera. if you have
already have a digital camera and a memory card, well then I suggest to get one or
two more (depend of the capacity of your memory card) it should be fine for your
next trip without have to download your photos in your whole trip.

Before we move on to next tips, I want to stop and before you leave from your
house, make sure you empty your memory cards, because what useful could be a
memory card with no left space left.

And if is possible take your laptop with you, like this you can empty your memory
cards at night in your room.

Camera Bag
Never leave your home without one

This is the most important thing beside your camera. Why?, well if you like the order
and maintain everything in one place, this is it. With a camera bag, not only you are
going to take an extra batteries, an extra memory card, it protect your camera from
scratches… I love my camera and I never leave my house with my Digital Camera
without it’s bag, it is always ready. I always let the camera bag for my next trip with
an extra batteries, an extra memory card and a cloth for cleaning the lens (clean it
once in a while). So this is something you must remember to bring to your
next trip. (remember, your next trip could be at your mom’s house for a couple
hours, but with everything in place, you don’t have to worry for miss any-
memorable moment)

Tripod or mini-tripod?
Which one to bring?

Well, I suggest a mini-tripod if you are going to take pictures from your family. But
if you are a professional or amateur photographer and you make this trip to take
beautiful scenarios, you may consider the trippod then, or even both.

The thing with the tripods, is just bring stability while you taking a picture.

Did you like it? Don’t keep it, share it!!

Good Luck.

Discover What Hotel Guests Really Hate

Okay. Obviously as the hotel owner, you want to have customers flocking in by the dozen but instead of looking at a long list of what you should do, take a moment to read up on what really irks your customers.

Dirty Bathroom

Nothing screams 1 star louder than a dirty bathroom. But just the same, even if your establishment is not a 5-star hotel, make sure that where customers do their private business is immaculate. And I really mean immaculate. It is bad enough to think that thousands of strangers have taken a bath in the same tub but evidence of which like stray hair or other bodily fluids just give customers that feeling of disgust that will have them running to the computer to give you a bad review.

Expensive Internet Access

These days, internet access has now become a basic necessity. But this observation is simply not considered by most hotels who charge for it. Or maybe they know it for a fact and would just like to earn extra. Yes that’s acceptable but to charge ridiculously high rates for an hour of internet access is insane.

Long Waiting Time To Check In

When you’ve just arrived in a new place coming off a really long flight, the last thing you want to do is to queue up for the receptionist to check you in. Yes, the hotel looks great but if you have to stand for 30 minutes in line, the decor will quickly lose its charm. This is especially irritating when you see that the receptionist is taking a really long time to process each customer. This problem is typical of the big busy hotels so the extra staff can really help a lot.

Unclean Linen

When you’re home away from home, the last thing you want is to sleep on a bed where you feel uncomfortable. Dirty linen certainly does not help in this case. Yes, you know another person slept on the very same bed the night before but to imagine that you are using the same sheets is another thing. And it is not very hard to imagine if there are evident stains. Ugh.

Bad Customer Service

The hotel is spanking new, the breakfast selection is great, rooms are big but customers can still decide to go to another hotel if the customer service is really bad. Rude and snotty receptionists and a concierge who can’t professionally handle reservations in your behalf fall in this category.

Learning about the most efficient hotel management can surely help you avoid every little thing that can make a guest hate your hotel. Guests these days are becoming more meticulous and demanding while many hotels are getting even more serious in exceeding customers’ satisfaction. Many hotel managers and owners are optimizing the use of hotel management software so they can stay strong amidst the stiff competition.
