Travel Tips:

1. Your Travel Wardrobe - when planning your travel wardrobe, think "double-duty".  Pack garments that you can wear two or three different ways.  Ideas can be found on the reverse side of my "It Only Takes One Suitcase" card.

2. Use a safety money belt or neck pouch.  They can be purchased at discount stores and travel & luggage supply stores.  Pick-pockets are in the cities and/or tourist areas.

3. When traveling in Europe via a taxi, before you enter into the taxi tell driver that you would like a receipt.  The taxi driver will not hand you an actual receipt, however this simple request tells the driver that you are aware of the taxi fee, thus causing him to be honest in his charging.

4. Again, while in Europe and enjoying a meal at a restaurant, ask if the bill is "complete".  Many times the tip is included in the total bill.  If it is "complete", there is no need to add a tip.
