28 29 30 31 [Next] - If ever ignorance is not bliss, it is when it comes to your health and safety. For example, getting sick just before you leave is devastating to say the least, but even worse still is having to pay for the this trip. So get cancellation insurance when you book - just in case. This advice I learned the hard way could have saved me close to $800. Christian McCabe ID35 - Keep a Trip Checklist which includes things you want to be sure to take care of before your departure. It might include such things as putting a 'hold' on your mail and newspapers, turning your hot water heater to the lowest setting, unplugging your computer, watering all plants, connecting a timer to turn on lamps, making sure all appliances such as irons and coffee makers are turned off, setting security system, notifying a neighbor that you will be away. Check these items off as you take care of them, and enjoy your trip knowing you haven't left necessary tasks undone! Tree House Bed and Breakfast ID591 - If hiring a self-drive car abroad, contact local firms (find them on the net). We have always found them much more reasonable than the international groups. But check that you are fully covered by insurance. Hiring a slightly older car can also save a great deal. Jenny McLean ID98 - A good alternative to classic guidebooks is to use self-guided audio tours. If a tour is produced in standard MP3 format, you can play it not only on an MP3 player, but on any computer, PDA, and most newer mobile phones. If you plan to visit Bratislava, capital of Slovakia in Central Europe, the only available audio guide is available at Bratislava Audio Tour. Brano ID2090 - If you want to buy posters and prints in the location you are heading to, I suggest taking a tube like architecture students use to carry plans in. I'm a university student, and I found these big black plastic carrying tubes at my university bookstore. They are cheap, and sturdier than the cardboard tubes you get at the post office. They don't take up too much room, and you can stuff them with small items for the trip over. For the trip back, you can mail the tube home ahead of you to make room for more goodies!
