Similarly, if you’re going to be driving during your trip, it may be worth mapping out that first route ahead of time. Some car rental companies offer GPS units, but they’re not always in English and they may not be in working order. Figuring out how to get where you are going in an unfamiliar location from a one-page map choked with advertising is another way to risk more than just your afternoon; you could end up driving around with the doors locked and windows sealed in a neighborhood that is anything but tourist- or outsider-friendly. Mapping out your first drive as though you were mapping out an escape route will save you time and anxiety in those first stressful hours of your trip.
