A good tip for group leaders is to sew a pocket into a tanktop, place important documents inside, and pin shut. Not only are all the items together and accounted for, they are safe from thieves. 1-Jan-2000 Rachel Thompson ID907 - Before your trip starts discuss the problems associated with getting separated in a strange city. Tell ALL of the people in your group that if you get lost or separated from each other to return to the last place you were together. As an alternate meeting place, tell them to return to the car or pick up point for your transportation, every hour on the hour. (This points out how important it is to plan a place and time to meet and ALWAYS park in a well-lit and safe area). Talk to your children about where you are going and the different types of transportation you will be on. Talk with all group members about safety and security, and discuss any special problems anticipated in the regions you will be in. Teach your kids to memorize your home phone number and that of at least one other relative at home (including area code). 8-Jun-2001 Mike Fox ID246 - One great way to take your 100 dollar bills (besides the money belt) is: the inside part of the jeans where the belt is supposed to be has a little chamber. With a knife cut an opening and now you can roll your bills up and put them inside. I found it's not very comfortable when tryng to use your bills, but sure is a safe place. I have been mugged twice traveling in Asia and I still have my money! 22-Apr-2001 Eitan Podgaetz ID147 - Do not drive behind flatbed tractor trailers. Their loads could be too high for bridges. These things are regulated and checked, but sometimes one will get through - as did one - causing crushed cars in Rochester, NY, resulting in 2 deaths (1999). 1-Jan-2000 Frank Rizzo ID888 - Better safe than sorry: When traveling to an unfamiliar place, especially to another country, keep a business card or matchbook or a piece of paper with your hotel's address and phone number on it. If you do get lost or separated from your group, you can show a cab driver the address and be whisked to your 'home base' safe and sound. This is particularly helpful to those in a foreign country with little to no foreign language skills. 18-Jan-2002 Brandie Elliott ID428 Would You Like to Add a Travel Tip?We welcome QUALITY travel tips from our users.Note: you will be required to enter the characters from a security image, so please make sure that you have your browser set to view images.
