Remember,
packing lightly enables you to travel lightly. A general rule to
follow is to pack half of what you think you will need.
Always
pack a carry-on bag that includes medication, toiletries and a day
or two of clothing in case your checked luggage gets lost.
MONEY
/ CURRENCY
Many
countries do not exchange foreign currency on the travelers return
to country of origin. At the airport, remember to exchange foreign
currency before leaving the country or you will risk being in possession
of valueless currency.
AVOID
HIGH HOTEL SURCHARGES
Remember
that many hotels charge very high tarrifs for long distance calls.
Use your telephone credit card, or place calls from public phones
instead. You can also save money by having your office or family
call you at prearranged times.
