I am trying to put together a travel tips page. If you have any
ideas, please mention them. Also I updated the car rentals page:
http://www.dialashop.com/onlinetravel/carrental.html
Here are some of the ideas for the proposed page.
1. Watch your Wallet
When travelling abroad carry your wallet in the front left pocket.
Most people are right handed so pick pockets will tend to direct
their activities to the right pocket. Also in areas that lend
themselves to theft I often will use an old wallet in the back
pocket with nothing in it as a decoy.
2. Email yourself
Before you travel, always email yourself a copy of all important
travel information: airline numbers, credit card phone numbers,
passport and driving licence numbers. That way if your documents
and/or wallet is lost or stolen, all you need to do is log on to
access all your details.
3. Accidental Spills
Buy re-sealable food bags from the supermarket and use them to put
toiletries in when packing. This will save your clothes in your
suitcase from any leaks.
4. Protect your Photos
To safeguard your holiday snaps take a photograph of your address on
the first frame, then if they go astray you have the best chance of
getting them back.
5. Leave Expensive Things in Main Body of Bag
When packing your rucksack, try not to put any valuables in the
front or side pockets as it will be very easy for someone to rob
you. Instead put expensive things in the main body of the bag and
put things like dirty underwear in the pockets. That way if someone
does try to steal something, they'll get a nasty surprise!
