Because I am sooo green when it comes to overseas travel,having never even crossed the equator, I have spoken to lots of people who are far more worldly than me, and have compiled a little list of their favourite travel tips.
- Take some old clothes, buy some new ones when you get there, and leave the old ones behind. (Not sure I can do this. I become emotionally attached to my clothes - they can all tell little stories)
- Buy packets of cheap undies and discard as you go. ( wonder what the motel cleaners would think - too bad I guess, you'll never see them again)
- Check your account balances on your credit card at the airport on leaving and arriving. It gives the bank an indication that you are travelling overseas.
- Scan passports, drivers license and cards and email them to yourself.
- Eat at self service places and delis to save 15% gratuities.
- Driving in the USA, check out http://www.justlanded.com/english/USA/Articles/Travel-Leisure/General-Road-Rules
- And remember, righty tighty, left is long when driving on the other side of the road.
- If taking your phone, check that it is unlocked and buy a prepaid SIM card from someone like T mobile.
- Make sure everyone in the party has the same so you get free calls and txt between you.
- Julie has booked an aisle seat and window seat for her and Will, and they are hoping that no one will want the middle seat.
- (Sounds risky to me)
- If you want to go toAlcatraz, book ahead. (So we did, but it looks unlikely that we can go, with the shutdown.)
it down, but I only had eyeliner pencil and it was dark, so this morning when I looked it up it was totally
indecipherable. ... Two bottles? Live boils? Note to self, pack a pen.
Chargers, flight socks, camera, mask...I think I have everything.
