Online Local Search and Shopping Site Features Travel Expert's Advice on Trip Planning, Packing and Traveling by Air, Car or Cruise Ship

DALLAS, May 31 /PRNewswire/ -- Verizon superpages.com and Samantha Brown of the Travel Channel are providing free travel tips to help make your summer vacation a success. The tips are available on Verizon http://www.superpages.com/travel / the premier shopping and local search site.

Brown's advice covers shopping for trip supplies, packing your luggage, coping with problems en route and finding local information once you arrive at your destination.

"Verizon superpages.com is the best source to find local restaurants, shops and attractions no matter where you're going in the United States," Brown says.

The veteran traveler recommends shopping for the best possible travel clothing and gear. "Understand that what you buy is for your protection, endurance and comfort," she says. "So don't be cheap!"

One of the biggest mistakes travelers make is over-packing, Brown says. "I do everything I can to not check my luggage. I plan my wardrobe around one color scheme -- like brown and white or black and white -- and I bring a wrap or a sash to make an outfit dressy."

She also suggests that you make a travel checklist to ensure nothing gets left behind. "List everything you always take with you -- from sun block to tweezers. Then lay everything out and check off the list before you pack," she says.

The complete list of Samantha Brown's travel tips is available on Verizon http://www.superpages.com/travel /, the nation's best Internet directory.
