If you are one of the North Texans opting out of a “Stay-cation” in favor of getting out of the Metroplex for Spring Break, Baylor Regional Medical Center at Plano offers these tips, whether you’ll be traveling abroad or enjoying a vacation close to home, to help ensure you stay healthy, safe and have fun during your vacation.

• Use common sense and always travel in groups.

• Consider purchasing travel insurance, which depending on the policy, can cover medical emergencies, trip cancellations, and lost luggage.

• Carry the address of where you’re staying with you, in case you get lost or separated from your group.

• Help prevent possible illness by drinking plenty of water and choosing bottled water rather than tap water.

• Plan for travel delays. Pack snacks and something to entertain small children.
