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. I Love Cape Town 18-Dec-2003 I Love Cape Town ID149 - Whilst withdrawing money from an ATM, try to use a machine outside a bank and make sure the bank is OPEN. If the machine eats your card you can then go inside and retrieve it. 30-Dec-2001 Jennifer ID415 Would You Like to Add a Travel Tip?We welcome QUALITY travel tips from our users.Note: you will be required to enter the characters from a security image, so please make sure that you have your browser set to view images.
