Tips for traveling

Okay Guys. I am really excited this year about stepping out and going and doing things this year, Finally I'm doing the me thing! YAY! and it feels good. I have been fighting with myself about the Vegas trip and freaking out!!!!!!!!!!! Sad I know because it's months away. I havent been on a plane in 11yrs and when I did get on a plane (2) times it was always with a group of family. I have been secluded in my home for years now only coming out for work, church, school, and maybe a few outings. Now it's time to change that, but I am so use to not doing anything, especially for myself that I get nervous everytime I think of going(anywhere out of town for that matter). But to hell with that I am doing this for me.

Anywho, my question is what do you bring? What to look for? and how to relax? I know this sounds petty but I need the run down on travel tips because I am ready to enjoy life like I deserve to. Sorry if it's jumbled, I tried to fit it all in. Thanks
