If you don't know I'm going to Japan in a week and a half you live in a box. I love to travel. I haven't done much domestic travel, unless you count Alaska and Hawaii, which you shouldn't.

Get to the airport early, dress comfy enough to sit for however long, use Trip Advisor to browse hotels. I usually get my airline tickets through Hotwire or, if I can, Southwest directly. Getting your ticket directly from the airline is typically a good bet, though I've had good experience with Hotwire (Hawaii, Jamaica, and Japan through them so far).

Uhm... That's all I can think of. Travel light, it's less stressful. If you think of any specific questions I'll do my best to help. I also like to get travel tips from Miriel.
