  • Date Format Confusion

  • - Tip for Overseas Travelers: When traveling to a country that requires a VISA (i.e., China), look carefully at the effective dates; countries outside the US use the date format day/month/year. This is especially critical early in the year. If you show up in the wrong month you may not be allowed to enter the country.

  • Departure Taxes

  • - Find out before you depart whether there is a departure tax, and how much it is. Some countries do charge a small fee, and will not let you board your flight without first paying it. It is best to reserve that amount of cash, as credit cards and other forms of payment are not accepted.

  • Determine Departure Taxes

  • - Determine departure taxes and put the necessary funds in an envelope with your airline tickets to avoid the last minute hassle of getting the correct amount ready. If you arrive in Vancouver, Canada at 11:50 p.m. and change planes to leave at 12:20 a.m. (30 minute stopover), you have to pay a departure tax - so it isn't only in third world countries.

  • Disposable Underwear

  • - Save time and space when packing. Choose disposable underwear for him and her. Disposable underwear are intended to be worn once and discarded - and come in a 5-piece package about the size of a postcard weighing less than 3 ounces.

  • Does Your Home Look Lived In?

  • - If you are worried about your house not looking lived in while you go, it is very simple and inexpensive to change that. Firstly, redirect your mail to a friend or family member's home (make sure you check with them first!) and secondly, you can purchase - quite cheaply from any major department store - lamps and radios that have timers on them. You can set them to turn on at times in the evening so from the outside it looks like there is someone home. (Don't forget to set the radio to a talk back show so it's more talk than music - makes it more real). This is definitely a cheaper way to take care of things than installing new wiring for expensive timers on the household lights.
