Traveling sometimes means a lot of preparation and labor work: sunscreen and water are musts for the desert weather; insect repellent if you like to hike in the evening to hide from direct sunlight; and of course outfits and cameras are essentials. Once you are on the road you would realize and appreciate that a little more preparation goes a long way!
Hope you all have a great weekend ahead and plan for your next trip with a little more effort!
