When leaving a hotel in a country that does not speak your language, take matches or stationery with the hotel name and address on it. When you don't speak the language, just show the cab driver to avoid mistake as to where you are staying.
Packing tip - Put small things in the toes and heels of your shoes.
Swollen feet when flying is caused by low air pressure as well as a lack of circulation from sitting for long periods.. To relieve this this, wear shoes a half size too large and then add gel inserts when you arrive at your destination.
PLAN AHEAD. The more that you know about the places you will be visiting the more fun your trip will be; however do allow time to be spontaneous, spend additional time at a special attraction or just rest.
Take an extra pair of glasses if you wear them.
Keep a small spiral notebook handy for making notes, recording impressions, and saving ideas for others who may want information in the future. It's a good way share with The Traveling Series, too!
