Make sure not to travel for very long at a stretch. Avoid being out in the sun for too long and don\u2019t engage in activities that would tire you out. Keep a lot of buffer time to ensure you have plenty of time to stop and rest whenever required.<\/p>\n<p>It is advisable to consult your doctor and run your travel plans through them.
