STUDIO CITY (CBSLA.com) — Emily Kaufman joined us on KCAL9 Friday to share some tips for summer travel.

Kaufman, who is also known as The Travel Mom, recommended the following travel tips:

• Cruises: book excursions through the cruise line ahead of time, complete forms online, consider purchasing a beverage package, and make dinner arrangements.
• National Parks: check to see if reservations are required beforehand, research unlimited park pass, arrive early, enter the park with a full tank of gas, and consider visiting them off season.
• Children's Museums: arrive right when museum opens, print your ticket ahead of time, consider taking public transportation, and plan your trip around specific show times and demonstrations.

Kaufman explained summer tends to draw in visitors to their favorite vacation spots.

By following these tips, you should be able to maximize your vacation fun, and stretch your travel dollar.
