On a recent trip to Canada my wife became ill and had to spend 10 days in the hospital at a total cost of 18,000 dollars. The prudent thing to do is get a trip insurance policy that covers medical costs. George Nosek ID565 - When calling to make a reservation at a B and B, ask your host or hostess to tell you what makes their accommodations unique. Perhaps it's their gourmet breakfasts, or their close proximity to local attractions. They may be famous for their mystery weekends, or because they serve high tea when guests arrive. They'll be glad to share their claims to fame with you, and you can decide if this sounds like 'your kind of place.' If it is, now's a good time to share with him/her any special needs you have so everything will be ready just for you. Tree House Bed and Breakfast ID592 - When travelling to destinations that require you to take a mosquito net, don't forget to take some string or twine (or spare shoelaces) and a couple of small screw-in hooks. If there is nothing handy to tie the net to, the hooks only make tiny holes that don't show when you remove them. Louise Batchelor ID87 - For the name tags on your bags, you can use your destination on the tags if you don't have a business card. Use your last name and first initial, the hotel name, the hotel number, and the city you are going to on the tag. You should also place this information on the inside of the bag with your itinerary, and another phone contact of a family or friend that can give specifics on how to contact you. Believe me when I say this helps to get your baggage to you faster. Placing something on the outside of the bag, and knowing a good description of the items in the bag, can help with identification if the outside tags are off. I have iron-on patches from all the places I have been with the bag on mine. Make sure you know where your tag stubs are when you check in; you need these also to make finding the bag easier. Tobi Harris ID37 - Always pack extra carrier bags. These take no space, but you can use them as and when you need them to carry your dirty washing then hide away your valuables in the bag, as many robbers do not look in them! Sarah A.
