If they leave the line before checking in, be doubly suspicious of their intentions. Obtain a specific credit card for use only overseas, apply a strict limit, and cancel it when you get home. Many travellers have been stung by businesses using their credit card after they have been to a store, or after giving them to receptionists at hotels for incidentals. Getting a staff member's name from his or her nametag is ideal if you can.

They're better equipped to make suggestions than most concierges, and are very familiar with local customs/secrets. A good public bus driver can make an entire vacation! 28-Jun-2003 Caroline Rose Amberson ID1551 - When you plan on traveling more than 150 miles from home, you can purchase a yearly membership for air medical transport. If you are hospitalized, your private insurance may or may not pay to have you transported to a hospital in your home city. 4-Aug-2005 AirMed International ID1729 - If suffering from a headache during travelling, try massaging lavender aromotherepy oil where the pain is - it works wonders! 21-Apr-2001 Lucy Dobbins ID48 - If you shop at touristy places, bear in mind that tour guides/operators who take their visitors to these types of shops all get a commission on purchases for the clients they bring to the venue. This generally represents 10% of the purchase price. Effectively, this means that all these venues cost the extra 10% into their selling price. There is no harm in you, as a tourist to a foreign land, asking for this as a discount for yourself if you travel on your own - or even asking your tour guide to arrange his commission to be turned into a discount for you. Remember YOU are paying for this anyway and it is your money being slurped up so be big and bold enough to ask for it. This has never failed me in the past.
