Travelers
tips
By
Rob Clement
What
is the best piece of advice you have ever had for traveling? I have put
a collection here for everyone to benefit from. If you have any to add,
please let us know.
Do
you want to pack for a holiday and not need a gorilla to carry
everything? Do not expect everyone else to do your carrying for you.
You may want to carry 80 lbs of luggage and a large rucksack but unless
you were in the marines it will hurt after a while.
Do
you want to save money, purchase travel insurance, stay fit? All these
topics are covered in the articles. So dig in and let us know what you
find helpful and what is not so hot.
Do
you intend traveling by rail (especially in Europe)? Do you want to
reduce the effects of jet lag? Do you just want to travel in luxury? Do
you just want to be the most relaxed person on the whole trip or will
you finish the trip needing another holiday to get over this one? You
choose.
Be a
better traveller. Enjoy the journey and get there unflustered and ready
to go out and see the places you have come to see. You have spent so
much of the year working that you need to go and see the benefits of
your work by having a holiday. A holiday will relax revive and refocus
you. It will be good to get away from the telephone and computer.
Sometimes it is also good to get away from the best of colleagues at
work. You will value them far more by not being in work for a time.
If
you are a manager for a company or the business owner and feel that a
vacation is not possible this year or for the next few years then
please read “You too can have a vacation.” The title is true and you
need a break as much or more than your staff.
If
you can think of a topic that you wish to be covered then please send
it to me.
Hot
off the press. I was reading the UK daily papers this morning and
noticed a warning about using the European cheap airlines. The warning
was to make sure that if you intend to carry a surfboard, skis or a set
of golf clubs that they are adequately insured. What the low-cost
airlines are doing is putting a “limited release” sticker on
surfboards, skis and golf clubs. This sticker is usually used where you
turn up to the airport with a tatty suitcase or holdall that is likely
to fall apart in transit. Also the low-cost airlines are charging the
price of the ticket or more to transport these items. Please read the
small print and check. (Daily Telegraph “Big bills for 'low-cost' luggage” 11th
