Having fun, staying safe during vacay<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With summer finally here and vacation plans\u00a0in place there are a few things you need to keep in mind when going out and enjoying your summer break.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As you vacation to\u00a0new cities, go for a swim at the beach or enjoy time with friends you must remember to take care of yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When traveling to new environments make sure you stay aware of your surroundings and keep your personal items close. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Avoid taking\u00a0large bags on your daily explorations, and pack light when exploring a new city. Find creative ways to\u00a0carry your IDs, credit\u00a0cards and cash to avoid\u00a0losing them or potentially being robbed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Try switching to a new smaller wallet in case\u00a0you misplace it, or travel\u00a0with a small fanny pack to avoid placing down\u00a0items such as purses or backpacks and potentially forgetting about them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You\u2019ll want to pack a few essentials for daily\u00a0travel but make sure you pack light to avoid lug- ging around unneces-\u00a0sary items as you travel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Staying aware of your surrounds is important when traveling to new and old places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As you make your annual trip to the beach it\u2019s important to know the\u00a0different ways to help\u00a0yourself if caught in a riptide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Riptides will pull you further away from the shore and can be dangerous and at times deadly. If you happen to get caught in a riptide, try to remain calm and remember to swim parallel to the shore in order to escape the riptide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And last but not least when at the beach, swimming in the pool or exploring a new city, wear sunscreen. Although you may think\u00a0you\u2019ll be fine\u00a0without it or\u00a0think the overcast will protect you, it won\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wear sunscreen anytime you know you\u2019ll be exposed to UV light for more than an hour. Sunscreen should be a part of your daily routine, though if you\u2019re only going to wear sunscreen once a year, now is the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As summer begins make sure to be aware of what you\u2019re doing and the places you go. Pack and wear your sunscreen, but most importantly have fun!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
