Tips on best cheap holidays in the UK

Finding the best cheap holidays is not as easy as it used to be, but there are places on the web that help you in your search for not only the cheap package holidays, but cheap hotels and cheap flights – you just need to know how to search for them! If you use a site like www.travelaide.co.uk, you can save so much time searching that you will wonder why you have never used it before! The beauty about sites like Travel Aide is that not only can it save you time like I just mentioned, but it can save you so much money on so many different aspects of your holiday. The services you can find through a site that does all the work for you include finding cheap flights, hotels, holidays, car hire, travel insurance and much more! If you think about it, all these websites are doing is saving you time, energy and most importantly money. How would you usually go about searching for a cheap holiday, Google? Your local high-street travel agent? Asking friends what deals they got? However you would do it, I can guarantee it won’t be as effective as searching on a site like Travel Aide or Google and being offered a comparison and list of the best places to go, and the best prices available. I have checked through several other sites similar to the one I mentioned, and you still have to be careful not to stumble upon a pure marketing site that takes money directly from the hotels etc. just to promote them, as this will not save you money nor will it get you the best possible holiday for your money. The usual idea that comes to your head when you think of the word ‘cheap’ before flight, holiday or anything else related to travel is probably ‘bad quality’, right? I don’t blame you. However, the goal of these sites is not to offer you the worst possible places at the best prices, it’s to offer you good accommodation in the best areas for the cheapest possible prices –they want you to use the site again, so of course they won’t be recommending poor quality hotels that they themselves wouldn’t think about staying in! We all know how hard it is to find the best and cheapest car hire companies in the location we are going, don’t we? You usually end up having to accept the first one offered or the first one you see! Through using a site like this you can sift through them and find the cheapest and best solution for your particular needs. For more details please contact at: http://www.travelaide.co.uk/

Travel Tips: Your Flight to Hawaii

One of the most frequented questions on my blog is if you need a passport to visit Hawaii. If you are a U.S. citizen the answer is no. Hawaii is the 50th U.S. state so there is no need for a passport. It is no different than from going from say, Nevada to California except the long flight of course.

Flying to Hawaii can be a very long trip if you haven’t planned right for it, especially if you have kids along. Flight times vary from around 6 hours from Los Angeles or San Francisco, 8 hours from Salt Lake City and around 12 hours from New York and as long as 17.5 hours from the UK.

To keep your kids busy bring along some books or a portable DVD player and a couple DVD’s to help keep them occupied. Make sure the DVD player is fully charged or has new batteries so it will last long enough for the flight. Don’t forget the headphones! People in the neighboring seats don’t want to hear the Barney song all through the flight. Most flights should have an in-flight movie to watch as well.

If you are bringing an infant be sure your car seat has the FAA approval sticker on it somewhere or you won’t be able to use it. Have an ample supply of diapers, wipes and powdered formula as well. A few dry snacks are also a good idea especially if your kids are picky eaters, they might not like the food served on the plane so bring something you know they will eat. You can bring fruits and vegetables on the plane and eat them there, but you cannot take them off the plane in Hawaii. Also be prepared to fill out the Agricultural form in flight so keep a pen handy.

I usually fly the red eye out of Las Vegas at 2 am so it is dark and much easier to sleep through the six to seven hour flight. The flights can get a little chilly since you are sitting in an air conditioned place for so long so bring a light jacket, you are likely to need one sometime during your Hawaii trip anyway, keep it handy in your carry-on.

The flight is a good time to reread any Activity brochures you may have picked up or to go over your itinerary to make sure you time is wisely spent, or just sit back and relax and prepare yourself for the slower lifestyle of Hawaii, after all you are going to Hawaii!

Tips for Online Air Travel Booking : Airlines in India

Travelers today prefer to book online as it is an easy and convenient way to book their travel and it is fast too. There are abundant sites today offering the best of services for travel booking and provide them at a competitive price and benefits.

People who generally travel frequently know the importance and convenience of booking their travel plans online. In addition to this they are also familiar with the tricks and ways to book efficiently and economically.

Some of the things to note while booking your plan are given below,

Purchase in advance— Airline operators generally offer the lowest prices at 21-day advance tickets. However, these fares are available for a short duration of time, sometimes lasting as little as 7 to 8 days ahead of your travel dates. If one waits until fewer than 7 days, it is unlikely to find a good deal.

Don’t be excessively early — If a traveler tries to book months in advance then it is unlikely that he will get the fare he wants and hence needs to be patient as airlines generally fluctuate their fares and might come up with a lower fare a little later. The best chance at anytime to get a good fare is to compare your travel prices on several sites over a period of time and then one can identify a good deal as per the needs.

Flexible Flight times— If date change for the travel is impossible, consider changing your flight times. Most travel sites have an “anytime” option for your preferred flight times, and that might turn up cheaper flights at less popular times of the day.

Always compare — A multiple site search for your travel needs is always helpful and this task can be made easy with the help of a meta-search engine as it provides a comparison in terms of price and benefits from multiple site simultaneously.

Fare Alarms — This is another good way to get a great deal. Most of the travel sites today allow one to sign up for the frequent fare changes. These travel sites send frequent mailers to one’s mail-id which is sometimes customized to the needs of traveler or can be a general update.

Substitute Airports — An alternative in terms of an airport should always be preferred which may add magnitude to your travel plan and would be helpful in getting a cheap fare. The meta-search engines are again helpful here.

Be updated – Trying to remain updated with the news from the travel industry will also prove beneficial as then one would come to know of the scenario and trends for the price fluctuations.

With few of these tips, one can easily find a satisfying price for the travel.

London Apartments: Top 5 Travel Tips During Downturn!

Credit crunch, downturn, depression….it really is all doom and gloom everywhere you look. Seriously, you are probably considering staying at home under the bed covers every day. This is understandable in the short term, but unfortunately, it is a depressing way to live and live you must! But, there is good news amongst all this bad news. Prices have dropped in London and all companies are bending over backwards for your business. We have compiled a few tips for travellers seeking to visit London economically and have a great time.

Shop ’til you drop

Take advantage of the drop in sterling and visit London to buy your Christmas presents. At time of press the pound was 1.55 against the dollar, so if you are a traveller from the US, there is rich pickings, especially luxury goods like handbags and designer clothes. Even the sterling is dropping against the euro, so European and Middle East travellers are spoilt for choice when it comes to finding bargains. The sales have started already and it is only October.

Hotels Accommodation

Hotels are slashing prices by at least 20% so it is worth shopping around. I find Expedia.com a great directory to find all the latest hotel promotions. Also don’t be afraid to call the hotel directly and negotiate, during a downturn everything is negotiable. Many hotels offer promotions such as stay for 3 nights and pay for 2, or free breakfast with weekend stays.

London Serviced Apartments

Serviced London apartments are a really cost effective choice of accommodation, even when compared to hotel promotional rates. For example, if a 4 star hotel rate is £140 per night for a double room which works out to be £70 per person. Whilst a one bedroom apartment at the rate of £150 per night and can accommodate up to 3 people, so that is only £50 per person. You will also enjoy more space with a separate bedroom, lounge and kitchen.

For families, it is even more of a good value choice. For example, an average two bedroom apartment is £220 per night so that is £44 per person for 5 people staying.

Apart from just price, serviced apartments are better value, ensure that your group can enjoy more living space and save money by cooking your own meals.

Transport

The price of oil has dropped now to a more realistic level, so the price of flights has reflected this. When in London, it is best to open an oyster card and top up for daily travel this is much cheaper than paying by cash, in fact it is half price. Visit www.oystercard.com

Or you can purchase one day or family travel cards. Another way to save cost is using a taxi sharing service. This service is available at a taxi rank in Paddington station.

Eating out on a budget

One of the best ways to find deals in restaurants and bars in London is to search on www.toptable.co.uk. At the moment, there are 2 for 1 promotions, or hefty discounts to entice diners.

So, as you can see it is not all bad news at all. There are so many bargains this autumn/winter, travelling to London is much cheaper than ever.

Quick Edit……… The UK is to expel an Israeli diplomat over 12 forged British passports used in the killing of Hamas leader Mahmoud al-Mabhouh in Dubai in January. David Miliband said there were “compelling reasons” to believe Israel was responsible for the forgeries. The foreign secretary said the misuse of British passports was “intolerable”. Israel’s ambassador to London, Ron Prosor, said he was “disappointed”, but Israel confirmed there would be no tit-for-tat diplomatic expulsion. Mr Prosor said: “The relationship between Israel and the UK is of mutual importance, hence we are disappointed by the… decision.” The name of the diplomat has not been released. Israel has previously said there is no proof it was behind the killing at a Dubai hotel. ‘High-quality forgeries’ The foreign secretary said officers from Britain’s Serious Organised Crime Agency (Soca) had investigated the matter of the passports. It had concluded the passports used were copied from genuine British passports when handed over for inspection to individuals linked to Israel, either in Israel or in other countries, he said. “Given that this was a very sophisticated operation, in which high-quality forgeries were made, the government judges it is highly likely that the forgeries were made by a state intelligence service,” he said. “We have concluded that there are compelling reasons to believe Israel was responsible for the misuse of the British passports.” The incident “represents a profound …

Malcolm Heyhoes Tips for December Uk Horse Racing

December usually means the King George at Kempton for the racing fan, but the traditional centre-piece of the Christmas programme is merely the climax to a thrilling month’s racing that begins at Sandown with the two-mile spectacular that is the Tingle Creek Trophy on Saturday, December 2.

Shocks are a rarity in this Grade One contest and even though many of the familiar faces will be missing from this valuable event, it’s safe to say that backers should stick with those horses towards the head of the market.

In the absence of leading two-mile lights such as Well Chief, and Newmill, this may well be an excellent opportunity for Voy Por Ustedes, last season’s top two-mile chaser and Arkle Trophy hero, to establish his claims for the two-mile chasing crown.

His trainer, Alan King, has long earmarked this race as an ideal starting-point for his stable star and with agility and the need to travel up with the pace a priority at Sandown, Voy Por Ustedes has plenty in his favour. Ashley Brook, last year’s runner-up, may also be in opposition and it’ll be intriguing to see how he fares after missing most of last season through injury.

The Tingle Creek isn’t the only top two-mile chase on the agenda at Sandown because the Henry VIII Novices’ Chase is also a key feature of Sandown’s cracking December 2 card. There’s already a wealth of talent in the two-mile novice chase division and it would be no surprise to see Fair Along, a most impressive winner of the Independent Newspaper Novices’ Chase at Cheltenham contest this prize and put his Arkle credentials on the line.

Remarkably five of the last eight winners of the Henry VIII ran in the Independent Chase at Cheltenham while trainer Paul Nicholls has also been responsible for two of the last seven winners and whatever he runs from his Ditcheat stable should be noted. The same is true for Alan King’s Barbury Castle yard and My Way de Solzen, a most impressive winner on his Lingfield chase debut, would be another top-notch contender.

Sandown’s Saturday card wouldn’t be complete without a bookies’ benefit in the shape of the William Hill Handicap Hurdle which has been a graveyard for market leaders in recent seasons. It is twelve years now since a favourite has landed this two-mile contest and the soundest advice is to stick with horses carrying a low weight that are trained by Gary Moore or Philip Hobbs and have run already in the Greatwood Handicap Hurdle at Cheltenham’s Paddy Power Open meeting. Both Mahogany Blaze and Verasi fit this bill.

On Sunday December 3 Ireland stages a couple of key races in their pattern calendar courtesy of the Drinmore Novices’ Chase and the Hatton’s Grace Hurdle at Fairyhouse, the latter being widely acknowledged as a stepping-stone to Champion Hurdle success and likely this year to feature Brave Inca and Asian Maze, two of Ireland’s leading candidates for top two-mile hurdling honours.

The best of the jumps action switches to Cheltenham on December 9 for a superb day’s racing that features the Boylseports.com International Hurdle (formerly known as the Bula Hurdle) as the meeting’s showpiece contest. Punters needn’t look any further than Detroit City the current Champion Hurdle favourite, for the most likely winner of the Boylesports. The Philip Hobbs-trained grey is rapidly developing into a course specialist at Prestbury Park and only last month he swiftly added the Greatwood Hurdle to the Triumph Hurdle he landed back in March.

The former contest has twice supplied the winner of the Boylesports and all being well the vastly improved Detroit City should make it three mainly at the expense of some inferior rivals. The Irish landed the race a year ago but any raiders from across the Irish Sea will be hard pressed to make it three recent winners this time around.

The Boylesports.com Gold Cup Chase is yet another change of name for a race that was once called the Massey-Ferguson Gold Cup, the Tripleprint, the Robin Cook and now this anonymous bookmaking mouthful. Sometimes progress has its limitations. Still, this is a cracking handicap and the trick here is to look for a horse carrying less then eleven stone that boasts wining form at the course, features towards the head of the betting and is trained either by Nicky Henderson or Paul Nicholls. Irish horses also tend to do well here.

Over at Lingfield on December 9 there are a couple of important novice events courtesy of the December Novices’ Chase and the Summit Junior Hurdle. The two highest-rated juveniles to win this event in the last three years were trained by Francois Doumen (the injury-prone Grand Seigneur in 1999/2000 and future Champion Hurdle winner Hors La Loi in 1998/9), and any horse sent over by the gallic raider must be respected while Oliver Sherwood has had this race in mind for some time for his smart youngster,. Marodima.

The countdown to Christmas begins at Ascot on December 16 with a top-notch programme that features the Long Walk Hurdle, the totesport.com Handicap Chase and the Ladbroke Hurdle. The later race is only in its infancy at Ascot and already Nicky Henderson has proved the man to be with having won the race recently with Chauvinist.

This time around he relies upon the well-regarded Tarlac, an easy winner over course and distance on his seasonal bow while Ireland’s Victram, a dab hand in this grade, also bids to add this race to his Imperial Cup success at Sandown in March. Ireland should also be strongly represented in the Long Walk Hurdle with trainer Dessie Hughes thinking hard about bringing over Hardy Eustace for this valuable prize following his easy win over slightly shorter at this course last time.

On Boxing Day, December 26, the King George VI Chase is always a race to savour and this year’s renewal may well see a small field and an odds-on favourite in the guise of Kauto Star, who has been elevated to superstar status in most quarters following an easy success against a bunch of declining forces at Haydock last time.

In a race that has been a corker for those punters that follow the market leaders 13 of the last 18 winners have featured in the top two in the betting Kauto Star is going to be very hard to beat but at least faces decent opposition in the shape of rising stars such as Monet’s Garden and Racing Demon who should give him a race over a course that rewards quick and accurate jumping and finds out any who slack in those departments. The former holds the best chance of overturning the favourite especially if he forces the latter to match him in the jumping department over the three rapid-fire fences in the home straight.

On December 27 Chepstow stages the Coral Welsh National, a severe test that is best left to those dour staying types that can plough through the Welsh mud. Light weights and previous winning form at the course will be a bonus and backers should look closely at any horse Paul Nicholls runs in the race while over at Leopardstown on the same day there’s the Paddy Power Handicap Chase, one of the main betting events at the big Christmas festival at the Dublin-based course. Look out here for Tony Martin’s Ross River, who is being trained to win this prize after finishing third in last year’s renewal.

Travel tips for your vacation rental trip to Bulgaria

Bulgaria offers pleasures for each one’s taste. Thinking of an active holiday? Bulgaria has it – swimming, skiing, riding, climbing, hunting, fishing… Thinking of relaxing – amazing nature, sunny beaches, healing spas, monasteries and churches, hospitable towns and villages… Ancient culture, endless beaches and an emerald sea, high mountains with marvellous gorges and caves, clear lakes and rivers full of fish, wide valleys, healing springs, ancient culture, hospitable people, tempting cuisine and wines, diverse flora and fauna…

All accommodation places in Bulgaria have been categorised according to the 5-star international system. Privatisation has had a favourable impact and today the country is proud of hotels and restaurants that meet the modern world standard.

When you are ready for that once in a lifetime experience of an Bulgarian vacation, consider a private home rental for your source of lodging. Hotels can be nice, but staying in a private home rented for the occasion can give you a chance to see the real Bulgaria. Explore the countryside, walk into the village and visit with the residents, and see what it feels like to actually go home, to a cabin or villa at the end of the day, living as the Bulgarians do. Or, try a beach house if that suits you or an apartment if you prefer a more urban setting. Getting to know the local people by living among them for an extended stay of a few weeks will give you a chance to learn some of the language, or if you already speak Bulgarian to brush up on your skills. It will also give you a chance to learn local history in a very unique way, from the people themselves. You will appreciate all of the similarities of Bulgarian culture with your own, and learn to appreciate the differences as well. The Bulgarians are a wonderful, friendly people with a rich culture and history. Taking the time to live among them, getting to know them as friends and neighbors, is truly an experience you will always remember.

Private homes for rent to vacationers in Bulgaria can be found in various price ranges. If you are looking for luxury, there are villas available. If something more rustic suits your taste and budget, then smaller homes and even old farmhouses are available to appeal to all tastes. Just as an example, one property includes two bedrooms, queen size beds, kitchen, laundry area, bathroom, central eat and the satellite television, telephone and VCR that most tourists are used to having. Imagine though the coziness and comfort of coming back to the house after a day of sight seeing to sit by the fire place, drinking a glass of a local wine, having a light dinner of pasta, and enjoying the peace and quiet of your surroundings. Staying in a hotel in a major city will certainly show you the tourist hot spots, but staying in a private home will show you the real Bulgaria.

There are so many wonderful places to visit in Bulgaria like:

- Nessebar – beautiful small town on Bulgaria’s Black Sea coast a few hours south of Varna. Another one of Bulgaria’s many UNESCO world heritage sites.

- Sozopol – together with Nessebar these are the two sea towns with traditional houses and ancient dig sites.

- Bansko – a beautiful old village in the Pirin mountains with refurbished homes, stone wall, and cobblestone streets, but increasingly overtaken by resort hotels. Good place for skiing in winter and hiking in summer. The birthplace of the Bulgarian revival movement. If you want a true mountain village experience, there are a few other villages nearby from which to choose. In the beginning of august an annual Jazz festival is being held in the town. Skiiers and Snowboarders could find BanskoSki useful.

No visa is required for entry for citizens of the US, Canada, UK, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand.

However, foreigners have to register at the police after 72 hours. If you have booked with a travel agency, this will be taken care of. If not – usually, your hotel will handle the necessary paperwork (ask). If you do not stay in a hotel, you will need to go to the police and take the tedious task of registering on your own. Especially for UK and US citizens, Bulgaria is really cracking down on this. Failure to register might mean a 2000 Leva fine (about 00 US). Also take care that you have an entry stamp in your passport, otherwise your exit could be quite troublesome.

Bulgaria offers tourist attractions all around the year. Most popular are summer seaside resorts, along the entire Black Sea coastline. In winter numerous ski resorts are there to attract tourists. There are many spa, trekking and historical destinations that offer incredibly rich variety of experiences.

There are hundreds, maybe thousands of mineral water springs around the country, so this is something you’d better taste and drink. Ayrian and boza are two traditional Balkan non-alcoholic beverages.

Traveling Tips When Visiting Gay London

Winter is about to give way to Spring, and Spring means getting out of town and searching for adventure. Maybe it even means getting out of the country! There’s no better time to plan a getaway to Europe, and right now, there’s no better place to visit than London, England.

As you may have guessed, there’s more to London than Piccadilly Circus and Buckingham Palace, especially if you’re a savvy gay traveler looking for a way to kick around the town.

But maybe it’s your first time to London, and you need help in getting started as to where to find places that range from the coolest to the quietest. Perhaps you happen to be a historic buff, or maybe you’re the traveler who is looking for something with more punch than Punch and Judy.

Your computer is the first and fastest way to start. There are plenty of sites geared toward Gay London, so why not try londongayman.co.uk/?  As the site states, London Gay Man is your very own gay-web personal assistant. Always out and about in the city, London Gay Man has information on everything including daily news, online dating, events, gay bars, gay pubs, gay nightclubs and much more. Constantly updated, you’ll find everything you need to know about what is happening in the country’s capital.

As for what’s happening in gay nightlife, London is unsurpassed. There are more than enough places to dance the night away than I can list here. I found an informative (but not nearly exhaustive) web site where there are plenty of listings geared toward looking for that special place of dancing pleasure. The site, discodamaged.com, offers day-to-day and hour-by-hour listings of what is going on for specific clubs.

Or maybe you want a daytime experience with a historic edge and you’d like something that takes you for a walk around town.  Through May 26, you must try the London Da Vinci Code Tour. Actor Gary Fordham follows the trail in search of the Holy Grail, revealing a connection author Dan Brown missed in the book. Keep in mind that this popular attraction will fill up quickly and will only run until Tuesday, May 26, so booking in advance is necessary. The walk starts at 1:30 pm and fares for a very reasonable price of 20 pounds. For further information, visit the web site at davincicodelondontour.co.uk/1.html.

No doubt your appetite will be stirred. Cap your day of fun with a fabulous meal at Out & Out, the original gay dining club of London. Paul Burston of Time Out says, “Whether you’re looking for love or just the chance to expand your social horizons, I can’t think of a better way to start.” The club, established in 1993–Where men like you meet men like you! (proclaims the web site)–specializes in gay personal introductions, gay friendship and gay dating in London. Contact them directly on their web site, outandout.co.uk.

Finally, with all the walking and dancing and dining you’ve surely enjoyed in London, there is no better way to end the day than with a relaxing massage. London has plenty of male massage and gay massage listings to go around, and their numbers are growing.

The premier site for London gay male massage is Findamasseur.com.  Not only will you find listings for gay masseurs in London, but you’ll also find listings all over the world.  Just click on ‘London’ under the section where major cities are listed.

Right now, some massage therapists in London are offering discounts to first-time clients. And if it’s your first time, then you’re in for a spectacular treat. Some therapists offer specific types of massage therapies in their services.

Some massage therapists focus specifically on the more athletic client with heavy emphasis on treating sore muscles more commonly associated with sports. A sports massage is also essential for optimum treatment of certain injuries and is excellent for helping prevent sports injuries. So why not see your male massage therapist for a sports massage before getting tackled in that rugby match?

You may want to go a step further and request a massage where the senses are further heightened in the experience and intimacy is a key factor. This is a massage that is about the sheer pleasure of sensuality.

This brings us to the London massage therapists who may offer tantric massage. A tantric massage is a type usually a sensual massage whereby the therapist assists you to understand and control or re-direct energy. With a qualified male therapist or gay therapist, it can be of great benefit toward liberation of body, mind and spirit.

Still further is the practice of combining Reiki and massage for optimal results in therapy. Reiki healing is the usage of spiritual energy to heal a person’s aura or situation. The word “Reiki” actually translates to “Universal Life Force Energy.” Licensed therapists often take Reiki classes in order to learn how to use the energy to promote spiritual well being as well as physical well-being in their treatments.

If you need further clarification of such massage services as tantric massage, sensual massage or Reiki, feel free to use your favorite search engine, or contact a London-based male massage therapist or gay massage therapist on Findamasseur.com where you are free to browse and contact a masseur directly through the London area.

Most male massage therapists or gay massage therapists from London practice their holistic art as a private business usually set up in a comfortable room out of their homes. Some make out calls to your hotel room, and as a traveler weary from adventures abroad, a house call catering to your needs at your time and place can be ideal.

The right gay massage therapist is waiting for you in London. The caring touch of a gay massage therapist from Findamasseur.com can rekindle and revitalize your mind, body and spirit.  Point. Click. Relax.

Travel Tips On Safety For Young People On Vacation

It is common to find many young people on a vacation to be drinking and partying. But it is of utmost importance that young people practice safety when traveling especially when in a foreign country. This does not simply deal with the issue of irresponsible drinking alone but you have to be extra careful and be aware of your surroundings for your own safety and for a smooth vacation trip while having some fun, rest and relaxation.

It is important that you know your limits when it comes to alcohol drinking. The problem regarding hang-over is just a minor one. You should be more concerned with other potential effects of excessive alcohol drinking like alcohol poisoning, possible black out and the worst effect which could be death. Your judgment can be impaired by too much alcohol and you could possibly get into bad situations. Monitor your consumption of alcohol as well as the alcohol consumption of those people who are traveling with you.

Create a buddy system with your friends or travel group. Watch for each other and stay together at all times as much as possible. If you do get separated for instance at a party, check out on each other at least every hour. Decide on a rendezvous point or meeting place if you don’t happen to find each other. Staying close with your friends can be very helpful for the boys when one gets into a fight. As for the ladies, your friends will be there to save you should someone be making sexual advances in the hopes of taking advantage of your drunken situation.

Do not accept drinks, candies, etc. from strangers and don’t trust anyone. You have to be extra careful especially for the ladies who get drinks from stranger. You may never know that he is trying to drug you to be able to take advantage of you. Do not leave with someone whom you just met and never give out information like your hotel room, etc.

For every action that you will be doing, always think about the possible outcome or consequences that may have you regretting for it in the end.

When you are traveling out of the country, be aware of the laws, customs and rules of the country you are visiting. Many young people get arrested for intoxication in public areas or driving under the influence of alcohol. If you happen to get into trouble in a foreign country, immediately contact your local embassy in that country.

Do not bring excessive amounts of cash, unnecessary credit cards and blings that could make you an attractive target of robbers and snatchers. Leave a photocopy of your passport back at home and one in the hotel you’re staying. In case you happen to lose your passport or it gets stolen, having a photocopy can help speed up the replacement process.
