When you arrive at your departure airport set your watch to your destination time. Sleep as much as you want to on the flight. Wear headphones to avoid being woken - listen to some smooth tunes on your MP3. Take snacks and bottled water. Don't eat big meals before and during your flight. Take a puzzle book to keep your mind active while you are awake. Take a pee long before they put the seat belt sign on for landing. (Waiting too long in line for Immigration when you're busting makes you bad...

I know of several people who rely on these prepaid Visa cards during their travels, and it's good to know people need to clarify their use. I usually just travel with credit cards, debit card (for ATM withdrawal), with some cash in a money belt for emergencies.

Wow! I wouldn't have thought there would be such great variability. I'm still fairly new at this, and it sounds kind of complicated. Are there any flight search engines you'd recommend routinely using?

I was just booking a one-way trip from Barcelona to Marseille for next summer hoping to use some points sitting on a bank-based (but not airline-affiliated) card. Imagine my shock when the ticket (which I knew should cost about $89) showed up as...

The occasion of the wedding is also the choice of shoes to consider factors. Now the market has a flat heel, high heel, heel heels, in the selection of wheels mainly according to personal preferences and wedding type to choose. If the wedding in winter, wear fine belt high heels will be cold, you can choose a just and ankle white boots, preferably the upper fold of the lace or small bow, so it will not feel very clumsy, and very chic, full of feminine taste. If your wedding is held on the...

After wanting to visit the Republic of San Marino since I was nine years old, we finally did last May, 2014, but for only one night. We really liked San Marino and decided one night was not enough. This past July, 2015 we returned and spent three...

My current carry-everywhere camera is a Nikon S9400 that is always on my belt; I've also always been happy with the Panasonic Lumix TS/TZ series. The Nikon is 18.1 megapixels with 18x zoom. BUT, I find myself lacking a few items that I'd like to...

Almost anywhere you travel in the world these days—especially to any First World country or popular tourist destination—a strong cellular signal and Wi-Fi hotspots in hotels, restaurants, Internet cafes, shopping centers, and airports are readily available. So even though you may be on the opposite side of the world from where you live, your iPhone or iPad can still serve as a powerful communication, organization, and productivity tool, as well as an interactive entertainment device. The...

Whether you’re a seasoned traveler or an eager novice, these eight great hacks that will enrich your global getaways. 1. Bring your own bottle Traveling is thirsty work and airports are strict when it comes to liquids. To swerve extortionate airport prices, bring an empty bottle with you and fill it up for free once you’ve passed security. 2. Roll don’t fold Make maximum use of your luggage space by rolling your clothes into a tube shape. Rolling helps protect your clothes from creases and...

Just back the other day from a week in Spain, flying both ways on Iberia. Unlike the U.S. carriers that now allow gate-to-gate use of electronics (as long as they're in airplane mode) Iberia very firmly told me to put away my phone and Kindle until the seat-belt light was off—just like the old days! Has anyone else had recent experience with non-U.S. airlines and their policies. I know the EU regulatory authorities have issued rules that are pretty much the same as the FAA's, but apparently...

This is something I've always avoided. I keep my money...never too much...deep in my pants pocket, not in a wallet; my cards and passport are elsewhere.   However, everywhere I turn, I see recommendations to use a money belt or hidden wallet in...

I never travel to a foreign destination without a money belt. I prefer to use a leg device to stash my cash and spare credit card. This is the product I like: http://www.amazon.com/Eagle-Cr...words=money+belt+leg Be sure to put your cash and cards in a small ziplock bag to keep it dry. Switch from leg to leg every day, and wash the money belt out every few days when in a hot climate. It dries over night. I find money belts hidden around the waist to be uncomfortable when flying, and modified...

Thanks...you've helped me to a decision, by reminding me that it's basically for what I have to carry but won't be using during the day. I also realize that any of these is basically to thwart pickpockets or grabbers, and that therefore, anything inside and inconvenient works. I ended up ordering an Eagle Creek item that attaches to my belt but hangs inside the pants, behind the pants' own pocket. I'm planning to wear it for a while before we go to make sure it doesn't annoy me too much!

PHeymont, be forewarned that the pickpockets will see these unless you have your shirt hanging over your belt. A friend of mine had the belt loop of his hidden money pouch of this style 99% cut thru by a razor in Rome (he was completely unaware of it, but aware that someone was trailing him). Fortunately the 1% that didn't get cut kept the belt in place, but it was a narrow miss and he would have been out $1500 and his credit cards.

I use a cheap nylon travel wallet with a Velcro closure (noisy to open) attached to a metal chain to attach it to a leather belt loop on my belt (sort of biker style...). I carry only a minimum of cards and cash that I 'must' have that day and leave the remainder in my hotel safe. If I have small denomination notes for tips etc I keep these separately in an old money clip in a pocket so as to reduce the number of times that my wallet has to come out into the open.
