Do’s and Don’ts of Planning a One Day Trip
DO check the weather before you embark on your journey. You’re going to need to know to wear shorts or possibly bring a jacket.

DON’T walk on a random road where you can’t see the end. It might possibly be a highway that you’re entering on, and if it is, you have to turn around and go back. Good signs that it’s a highway are: 1) cars are beginning to speed up 2) there is a ramp you have to cross (even if there is a narrow sidewalk) or 3) you’re walking slightly uphill.

DO look at a map before you reach your destination. Although you might feel confident at first blindlessly navigating your way through an unknown city, you can become exhausted and stressed within just a few minutes of your journey.
DON’T just get off your train and start walking. First check your surroundings for a map or taxi service. This could save you a lot of stress in the end.

DO stop into any random, good looking restaurant. You never know if it’s going to be a hidden gem, and it could be some of the best tasting food ever! Plus, they might have milkshakes! And it might be a 1950s American Diner!
DON’T leave the train station until you first see what time the train ride home is. You might not find a restaurant that has wifi, so looking up train rides home can become problematic really fast.

DO enjoy every second! Sure something might go completely wrong, but that is the joy and fun of traveling! Take deep breathes, keep an even should on your heads, and laugh about it all with a friend! Mariah and I had a great time with many stories to share.
