Travel Tip Tuesday

Well, since I get tired of hearing myself talk incessantly, I decided to get some help from my twitter friends,who are called *tweets*.

 
So, I posed the question out it in Twitterland.  Asked for their favorite travel tips.  And they did not disappoint!
 
Here are some of my *tweets* favorite travel tips.  And I will posting with their twitter names, so that you could easily find and follow them if you so desire.
 
Oh, and if you care to find and follow lil’ ole me, I am MyMelange.
 
So, here are your Twitteriffic travel tips folks:
 
FacingTheStreet says “Use services that help you meet locals abroad.  Try like-a-local.com, which arranges dinners in homes across Western Europe.”
 
louloufrance says “Always pack some T.P., because many toilets you encounter in France won’t have any!”
 
nikkiitaly says “Always pack a spare pair” (I think she meant undies.)
 
And my good friend italylogue, came through with these great tips:
 

 

*Wear slip-on shoes to the airport. – Makes getting through security much easier & less of a hassle, & plus you don’t have to be frantic over keeping an eye on the conveyor for your laptop or other valuables while you’re scrambling to tie your shoes (standing up).

 

*Bring toothbrush/toothpaste on the plane. – Nowadays, you’ll have to make it a travel-friendly size, but you’d be amazed at what a simple tooth brushing can do for making you feel a little more refreshed after a flight (esp in coach!).

 

*Always remember to keep valuables – including jewelry, camera equipment, laptop – in your carry-on bag. And all prescription medications/glasses should stay with you and not be checked, either!

 

*If you don’t already own a money belt, get thyself one. Pronto. And use it. (Use it properly, I might add. Can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen people wearin’ ’em like friggin’ fanny packs, OUTSIDE their clothing. Hu-LO?!?)

 

*Learn the following in the local language – the #s zero-10, plus 100 & 1000; hello; please; thank you; beautiful; delicious; toilet. You’ll be amazed at how far you can get with just that.

 

A big thank you and a big virtual hug to all my twitter friends for sharing their travel tips!  As always, if you have a travel tip to share, just email me at mymelange (at) yahoo (dot) com!
