Dine and Dash

- Dining alone I typically like a nice sit down meal but don't like hanging around when I'm done. When I'm almost finished with my meal, I place my credit card on the table. Most servers are attentive to what I mean, and after the obligatory offering of dessert they run my check. When they return I'm finishing up and can sign and leave.

Dining Alone?

- When traveling I typically dine alone and get stuck at very small tables in some restaurants. Now I bring my hotel complimentary newspaper and ask for a larger table so that I can read my paper. Most places don't mind as long as they don't have many groups of 4 waiting for tables. Dining early will usually avoid the crowds and get you the better table.

Dining Lean

- Do you gain weight on your travels? Many people do since they eat out in restaurants. Here are some tips for eating healthy in any restaurant.

Don't go starving. Have a snack before you go out to eat. Upon check-in ask for a fruit basket, and bring instant oatmeal or dried fruit to munch on.
Ask the manager. Servers are NOT privy to how food is prepared. Ask the manager for suggestions on healthier options or substitutions.
Order the portion size you want. If you were brought up with the 'clean plate' mentality, order just what you want/need. Request just a 4-oz. steak, just one roll (rather than a basket), or a 1-cup portion of pasta. They may even discount your meal, but at least you won't overdo it.
Ask for special orders. The pasta meal can be prepared with 1/2 the cream sauce - a good break from the red sauce, still tasty, but with 1/3 less calories. Ask for a dry bun with your sandwich. Substitute fruit for the coleslaw. Request them not to brush the steak or fajitas with butter/oil. Tell them you'd rather have pretty thighs than pretty meat!

Do it Backwards

- All the locals know the secret for visiting mega attractions like Disney World. Do you know the secret? After passing the entrance gate, instead of walking to the RIGHT with the rest of the crowds, turn and walk to the LEFT and circle the park's attractions backwards! You'll beat the masses to all the rides! You'll be happy you did!

Do Not Use the Word 'Fanny' in Australia or New Zealand

- Please if you travel to Australia or New Zealand: Do not use the term 'fanny pack'. 'Fanny' is a not nice word for a woman's private parts, not your rear end.
