The 10 commandments of planning day trips
When planning for a day of touring being prepared is one of the best ways to make the most of your sightseeing time.

1. Dress in layers. “The very best way to stay comfortable is to dress in layers that can be removed and/or put back on as conditions change,” suggests David Lewey, product manager for Tauck Small Ship Cruising.
2. Wear comfortable shoes. If your vacation plans include a lot of walking, pack a well-broken-in pair you can count on. This is not the time to break in brand-new ones, no matter how cute they may be.
3. Get an early start. “When planning on my own, I am sure to schedule more active activities at the beginning of the day when I have the most energy and crowds tend to be thinner,” says travel blogger Cindy Mailhot. Plus, the earlier you leave, the fewer crowds you're likely to encounter.
