23 24 25 26 27 28 29 [Next] - When travelling abroad by plane always take a pen with you. During the journey you will need to fill in customs formulations before landing - and if you don't have one you will have to wait until someone else or the airhostess lends you a pen. 1-Jan-2000 Ana Núñez ID630 - Car rentals in Europe are often two or three times as expensive as in the United States, France can be very expensive, but!! If you reserve and pay for your hire in the US with a multinational (Hertz, Avis Dollar etc.) for collection in your arrival airport, you can get a good deal, especially if you do it in advance and negotiate a little. 4-Aug-2005 Rentals France ID576 - If you are arriving after dark or after noon during the high season, having a hotel reservation for the first night can save a lot of running around. Remember, you can always go somewhere else in the morning. Try to confirm your reservation a few days in advance and ask about transportation options - maybe the hotel has a shuttle. Be sure to inform them of your arrival time in case there are any special instructions; in many countries the front desk is not staffed 24 hours a day. Having a reservation doesn't require staying in a ritzy hotel. All over the world local guesthouses, hostels, and even alternative accommodations such as working farms are part of on-line reservation systems. Always print out a copy of your reservation, and make sure you have the name and address of the hotel in the native language and script. 4-Aug-2005 ATravelDirectory ID1693 - Use a durable ID card inside of your luggage to help return it if lost while travelling. Over 90% of lost luggage stays lost because the airline, cruiseship (or whatever) staff can't identify the owners in order to return it. 13-Dec-2003 Earl Patton ID613 - Instead of choosing your vacation dates based on your favourite time of year, ask your chosen innkeeper about favourite seasonal pluses at that location. For example, most people go to San Juan Island, Washington, in July, August, or September. Often this time of year, the island is brown from lack of water, overcrowded with tourists, and the Orca whales rarely come around. In May, the Orcas are active, and the island is green and not overcrowded.
