Like The
"Rich and Famous. . ."
Discover How A Pauper
Travels Like A King!
ABCs of Adventure Travel
by: News Canada
A – Address peel and stick labels for all your
family and friends
before you go. Then stick to postcards along the way and you'll come
home looking good.
B – Bottled water is a must – don't drink anything
else.
C – Cookbooks from your travels are always a great
souvenir.
Cook a dish from one when you have friends over to see your video and
pictures
D – Digital cameras save the day; their small and
you never run out of film
E – Expect excitement; go with anticipation, not
trepidation
F – Food is fun, try something you've never eaten
before like zebra pate or Australian wine
G – Give generous tips, especially in poor
countries, you'll be so glad you did
H – Hang out with the locals. Get to know a new
person on your trip and get a photo with them
I – Inform someone at home of your itinerary
J – Journal every day. Can you remember now what
you did last week?
K – Kids love it when you have packed little
surprises to open along the way
L – Learn something: Take a pasta making course in
Italy, Scuba diving in Argentina or Belly dancing in Bagdad (just
kidding)!
N – Note the local artisans and buy something
authentic
O – One substantial souvenir is better than a lot
of small things. Then ship it home to lighten your luggage
P – Postcards will rescue you when your
photography fails. You can never have too many
Q – Questions help you get the most out of all you
see and experience.
R – Read before you leave. Read lots of books
about your
destination. Find out who the local best sellers are, and read one of
their books.
S – Scrapbook within the first week of getting
home
T – Travel as light as humanly possible. Dragging
luggage is no fun.
U – Unpack as soon as you get home.
V – Vaccinations and certain medications are
necessary in some
countries – be sure to check with the World Health Organization about
what you need.
W – Whining never fixes anything – buck up and
deal with the differences
X – exchange your currency at the airport or a
bank and be sure you understand the value of your money
Y – You are the one who will make or break your
adventure. Plan to be positive
Z – Zero in on one or two experiences and squeeze
the most out of them. Adventure overload will leave you confused.

Todays Travel Tip
Call the airlines between midnight and 1 a.m. Monday through
Friday to get cheaper tickets. Most people never realize that at
midnight, airline agents revise and load new fares into their trusty
little computers (actually really big computers). The best shot at
rock bottom fares is just after they have done the updating! Check back tomorrow for
another tip.
P.S.
If you have ever wanted to travel like the "rich and famous," here is
your opportunity. The Pauper's Secret Confessions alone, are
worth 10 times the cost of this book. Never take another trip
without being prepared!
