There are many ways you can enjoy a holiday, from lazing on the beach to exploring the local cuisine. While some people like to move as little as possible when they’re away, others prefer to get moving. Going on an active trip can be just as relaxing as going to the beach but in a different way. If you want to get active on your holiday, there are some things you should do to prepare. An active holiday requires a lot of energy, and there could be a few extra hazards to watch out for. Before you go, make sure you do the following things.
Get Fit: How fit are you? Are you prepared for the level of activity on your trip? If you’ve booked onto a tour or package, they will give you an idea of how strenuous it will be. If you’re choosing activities yourself, you can try to match it up to your level of ability. However, even if you have chosen a trip at your level, you still need to ensure you’re fit enough before you leave. Perhaps you’ve let yourself go over winter, and you need to get fit for your summer holiday. Get in some training before you go to ensure you’ll be able to tackle the challenge you’ve set yourself.
Delay Inconveniences: When you travel as a woman, there’s one thing that can loom over you and spoil your fun. Getting your period is never fun but you definitely don’t want it when you’re travelling. While you might be able to cope with it in a comfortable hotel, it’s not so easy if you’re climbing a mountain or white water rafting. They say that exercise helps cramps, but it makes it worse for many women. If you don’t want to have to worry about it, you can get tablets to delay your period. They’re convenient when you want to skip your next period so you can concentrate on other things.
Take Out Insurance: Travel insurance is always important when you go away. It can help to cover medical costs, lost baggage, and delayed travel. However, it’s even more important if you’re going on an active holiday. Your chances of injuring yourself aren’t necessarily that high, but if you do get ill or injured, the costs could be. If you’re somewhere remote, you might need to be air-lifted to safety in an emergency. You could have an accident, experience altitude sickness or just become unwell during your trip.
Pack the Right Things: You need to make sure you pack well for your active trip. You’ll need to consider both the space you have available and what you need. On some active holidays, you might have accommodation where you can leave some of your things. You might also have someone to transport your luggage from place to place. Sometimes, however, you may have to carry all your things with you at all times. You need to ensure you have everything required for the conditions you’ll face without over-packing.
Approach your active holiday with caution, so you know you’ll be well-prepared. You’ll have a better time if you know what you’re getting yourself in for.

Great advice. However for the elderly women the period thing doesn’t matter and getting in shape might give us a heart attack. We do realize these things and usually try to visit places that are appropriate for our generation. :o)
