It's a terrific opportunity to enjoy your youth, but there are a lot of things to be careful about, especially for those who don't travel a lot. Did you remember your cell phone? Passport? Toothbrush? Is everything in your carry-on seven ounces or less? Does your family know where you're going and have contact information? Do you have all of your shots?
It can be overwhelming just at the time when all you want to do is be cool and relax. Well, I have good news. You can cross one worry off your list. Those awesome flip-flops you got over Christmas are totally acceptable at the airport.
So kick those divinely trendy, prime-of-life feet back and enjoy the break. Oh, and don't forget to call your mother when you land.
