Planning a vacation  
 
  When planning your trip, make sure that you find out about the wet and dry seasons, or other possible weather conditions that may affect your holiday.
 
  Ask your agent to find out whether the hotel or even the destination has any work going on.
 
  If you are traveling to an area that may be considered a 'hot zone' (possibly dangerous) then check with your insurance company to verify whether you will be covered in case something goes wrong.
 
  Check out the local holidays before making your itinerary.
