Advance preparation for traveling to events in a different city

A little advance prep can save precious travel time. Check where, how much and how to catch the basic transport you'll need on arrival and leaving. Know how much a taxi, train, bus, etc. should cost from airport to destination to avoid rip-off's and ensure you've got enough local currency and directions.

Photograph your ID, passport, travel or airline docs and suitcase contents. Save to Cloud if possible and your camera and phone. Helps in case of theft or loss.

Pack laundry dryer sheets, great for static cling, refresh clothes and keep in dirty clothes bag to cover any scent. A Shower cap or extra plastic bag cover germy hotel remote controls nicely.

When sightseeing, don't attempt to see every museum. It's better to limit yourself to the best of what a place has to offer. This way you don't get jaded and tired of it all. It's best to limit yourself to one art museum, one monument, one palace, one church, and one historical site or museum per place visited. However, you can visit several neighborhoods within a place.

Also, when visiting museums, don't attempt to see everything there. Instead focus on what is best or most unique in what they have to offer.
