US phones do not work in Europe, Asia, and elsewhere. For as a small daily fee, you can have one phone, with one number, that will work in over 92 countries worldwide. These are great for the business traveller, families leaving the kids at home, or anyone who just wants to stay in touch. CellHire.com 18-Dec-2003 CellHire.com ID619 - Ask what they served for breakfast this morning. Was it buffet or sit down? Can you walk to shops? Do they use hotel quality mattresses? (If yes, say no!) Does the innkeeper live on the premises? (If no, say no - or you'll be staying at a 'hotel by another name'.) 1906 Pathway Inn Bed and Breakfast, Americus, Georgia 18-Dec-2003 1906 Pathway Inn Bed and Breakfast, Americus, Georgia ID599 - Before travelling abroad I print up a quantity - about 6 - credit card size cards which I laminate. These cards will carry information on important telephone numbers, insurance policy numbers, flight numbers, travellers' cheque numbers, etc. These cards can then be placed in wallets, baggage, and clothing. Should I run into difficulty I then have the necessary info in a variety of places - and being credit card size they will not take up masses of space. 1-Jan-2000 Stephen Snow ID631 - Be sure all of your shots are up to date, and have extra medication in case you are delayed on your return home. 1-Jan-2000 Renee A. Frank ID648 - With all of the media attention concerning airport crime and luggage theft, I realized that your worst enemy is having a plain, non-descript suitcase or carry-on bag. This may not be a tip for everyone, but if you like being a little avante-garde and/or you have creative inclinations, you may want to try it. I purchased a soft-side set of new luggage ... plain, black, and very, very inconspicuous. I decided to go ahead and utilize my creative talents and some craft paint, and have decorated the luggage with various ivy, climbing flowers, etc. You could do this either free-hand or with stencils. This is something you're creating that's uniquely you, makes it very easy to spot when you claim your luggage, and best of all it's a deterrent to thieves - as they would have a terrible time making off with such a conspicuous looking bag! Again, this is a personal decision, but I think if it's tastefully done it can make plain old luggage into something beautiful and safe! 1-Jan-2000 Andrea Thompson ID628 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.
