  • Be Oranized with the Paperwork

  • - Hole-punch all of your information for your trip (and make copies of anything you'll need), organize it by what you'll need chronologically, and place it in a slim, bright, lightweight soft-side plastic binder. It's very easy to find in your carry bag, and you can easily flip through to find your itinerary, the address of the hotel you're going to, the phone number of the person you're supposed to hook up with, etc.

  • Be Prepared for Conversations

  • - Take a dictionary and notes phrase book. It can be useful.

  • Bring Dollar Bills

  • - Bring lots of single dollar bills for tips during endless airport transfers, hotels, and courtesy busses.

  • Buy Your Film at Home

  • - If you're going to a popular tourist attraction, buy your film at home! It usually costs a lot less than say, Disneyland, or Washington, D.C. or any other big vacation spot.

  • Buying Your Airline Tickets Online

  • - Buy your airline tickets online! But, beware! Sometimes it's a hassle but it can be worth the trouble! I had an airline in a tizzy due to a published fare I had seen online the night before. There was a fare to the Caribbean for under $550 U.S. I tried to book online and their system was down. I called the airline directly, and of course the rate was higher. I then went back online and tried again and same thing, system failure. Should I have waited until morning to try again? NOOOOO! I did and guess what?!?! I called the airline and of course was sent to several operators until one was savvy enough to put me through to tech support. The airline stated that there was never a fare for that rate to my destination from the night before. I should have PRINTED OUT that page and it would have been honored by the airline the next day due to the fact that there really were tech problems on the site. Use that wacky printer of yours if you can't book online, and then with your proof ... demand that the rate be honored!
