Travel Advice

Pack all your necessary belongings in a carry-on bag for airline travel.  Not having to check luggage means that you can save on checked bag fees, check in for your flight at home or at a kiosk without having to wait in line a the ticket counter, and will avoid the possibility of your luggage being lost. 

This travel tip goes out to all those who are proud to be Americans.  You know who you are and you're terrific.  The only thing is, if you travel globally, you embarrass our country if you engage in loud, flag-waving, obnoxious behavior.  You will make a far better ambassador for the U.S., if you make an effort to observe the cultural and behavioral norms around you and adjust your volume and actions, accordingly.

Don't over-schedule your vacation. While it is important to plan some activities, especially ones which require tickets or additional travel, leave yourself plenty of free time. There is no better way to see a location than to just wander around. Take the time to explore and see where you end up.

Airplanes can be filled with airborne bacteria.  You can dab some Neosporin in your nose while on the plane to combat the germs in the air.  You can also use hand sanitizer frequently.  After you rub the sanitizer into your hands, put a small amount right under your nose.

Travel can be a good way to get away from it all, but sometimes it is necessary to get in touch with the rest of the world. For this purpose, make sure your cell phone works wherever you are going or purchase a prepaid phone in your destination country. You will be glad you did if you lose your credit cards or passport and need to contact your bank - or embassy! - right away.
