they’re actually drunk. Water will be your best friend.
5. Take Small Purses, Fannie Packs, Wallets or Phone Wristlets
Leave the Michael Kors tote at home ladies! During Spring Break you want to be as free as possible. Lugging around a book bag or even a large shoulder bag will not only cramp the fun but also irritate you from all the stuff your friends want to add, so sparingly, to it!

6. Keep A Close Eye On Your Bank Account
Nothing is worse than going to the bar and buying a round of drinks for your friends, all for your card to get declined. I say for trips abroad, bring loads of cash.
You can convert the money at the airport or even at your hotel. If you use the ATM abroad, please be fully aware there will be International fees and it’s not just for the transaction.
Once you get home, you’ll find double fees for abroad and for the conversion your home bank had to do.
Lastly, make sure to tell your bank you’re leaving town and/or the country. Every bank has fraud protection as a priority on their list and will cut your card clear off if they see uncommon transactions in a foreign country or state.
