Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Green Valley Lake could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some useful hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are some great options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fireworks, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The key to a comfortable flight often lies in your clothing choices. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
• Most travelers are aware of DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to lower your risk. Don a pair of compression socks, stay hydrated and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Green Valley Lake in a flash. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Have your travel documents and ID handy. They're the first items you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked bags.
