Well, I really haven't got very much in the line of travel tips, except basic
common sense.

The best one I ever read, and it really works is this:

"Take twice as much money, and half as much clothing as you originally thought of"

Since I've almost run out of money, and often had too many clothes, I think
this makes very good sense.

The other important thing is, always pack your own luggage, so that you know
what's in it.    Customs officers can always choose you to search, and it could
become embarassing, at the very least, to find unwanted items amongst your
belongings!

Oh yes,  always take sunscreen and insect repellant, and make sure you've
had any innoculations you need for the area you're visiting.
