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. 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. Rentals France ID576 - Before you leave on any trip, do some research. Make a record of important telephone numbers and addresses on the way, such as police stations, hospitals, pharmacies, etc. Use an Internet mapping site to print out a route map as well as a street map of the area around your accommodations. Place everything in a folder that is easy to find in an emergency. If you have a laptop, suitable equipped cell phone or the like, be sure to have the information in electronic format as well. Chris Palmer ID2132 - 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.

Over 90% of lost luggage stays lost because the airline, cruiseship (or whatever) staff can't identify the owners in order to return it.
