Travel Tips• Book flights well in advance in order to get the best prices.• Apply for a passport at least 6 weeks before you want to

do international traveling. Right now, getting a passport is VERY DIFFICULT!

• You won’t be sorry if you check the weather forecast for your destination before you pack.
