UCB Travel Tips
Getting out of town this weekend? Here’s a game plan to conquer the long weekend without losing your cool!
Traffic Tamers: Outsmart the Rush
- Be a Time Traveler (sort of): Ditch the peak travel times. Aim for early morning or late-night drives to avoid the Friday afternoon and Monday madness.
- Navigation Ninja: Traffic apps are your friends, use them to identify trouble spots and reroute when you need to!
Financial Finesse: Fun on a Budget
- Become a Freebie Finder: Many cities offer events over Memorial Day weekend that are free to go to. Check out outdoor concerts, art walks, or historical reenactments.
- House Hunting Hustle: If you’re in the market, use the long weekend to your advantage. Many realtors host open houses – a great way to get a feel for different neighborhoods without the pressure of a formal showing.
It’s All About YOU
- Pack Your Patience: Travel delays happen. Embrace it!
- Take care of YOU: Stay cool, calm, and collected by staying hydrated. Pack a reusable water bottle and refill it regularly.
- Tech Time-Out: Sometimes, disconnecting is the best way to reconnect. Set boundaries on phone use and enjoy the present moment (seriously, those emails can wait!).
Bonus Tip: While you’re exploring new places, keep an eye out for potential neighborhoods you might love to call home. If you see that lake home for sale or love the cabin you’re in, we can help! It’s a win-win – a fun weekend getaway with a side of future planning!
