More and more revelers are choosing a .warm-weather getaway or a snowy ski resort with or without their families during the holly- day season. Whether you’re in the market for a vacation there are some general guidelines for no- headache travel: — Travel light to avoid delays. If you must check a bag, check only one, but try for carryon. If you're flying home to visit Mom and Dad, -mail your gifts in early December and avoid losing precious presents in transit. Mark your bags carefully and double-check the airline tags to be sure your suitcase is going where you are. — Mother Nature and time are your two cities where you’ll be traveling for up-to-the minute information on flights, cancellations and delays. Add extra time for driving to airports, and get your boarding pass early, in case the airline has overbooked the flight. Check through security early so the crowds don’t delay your trip. . Now comes the fun part. If you've decided to . skip the family homestead, let your fingers do the walking through the travel books at the bookstore and the travel brochures your agency can provide.
