Break away from the tour group and talk one-on-one with the locals. Take local transportation (ask your hotel staff about after-dark safety), shop grocery stores (a great source for inexpensive souvenirs), pharmacies (look for scented soaps, lotions) and especially the outdoor markets. Befriend your hotel staff, learn their names, and seek from them information on what the locals do for entertainment. Anonymous ID1250 - The air in the hotel room can be very dry, especially during the winter season in European countries (from my experience). Therefore, wet a few towels and place them on the bedside table next to where you are sleeping to increase the moisture in the air. Florence Leow ID345 - When renting a car, always insist on two sets of keys. We had guests who fell into the river when fishing and they lost the only set. It took about 6 hours to retrieve the guests, contact the rental car agency, drive 45 miles to the dealership to get another set, and drive them back to the car. If the rental agency won't give you an extra set, get one made at the nearest hardware store. Fairhaven Inn, Bath, Maine Fairhaven Inn, Bath, Maine ID1256 - Keep notes in a journal on what you do on a trip. When you get back home, place them in a 'Trip Notes File'. Label each file with the place and date, including brochures, etc. The notes are helpful if you want to go back to a B&B you liked or a restaurant; it's all there. Plus, they are great reading on a cold winter day, and you get your money's worth over and over again. Seymour House Bed & Breakfast, South Haven, Michigan Seymour House Bed & Breakfast, South Haven, Michigan ID1277 - If you plan to take lots of photographs on your trip, mark the plastic film containers with a number. In your journal, put the number of that film container on the page. When you develop the film, if you note that same number on the developing-package, it will be loads easier to figure out where each of those rolls of pictures was taken.
