If traveling internationally, get passport early, even before setting up your trip - tell them a projected date for the trip a week or two prior to leaving - the passport folks may leave your application until the last minute, and you won't necessarily receive your passport until a couple days before you leave (especially if you are waiting until the last minute or are slightly ahead of the timeframe they quote you), which can be stressful. Make sure to have the passport application, two passport photos (to specifications - WalGreens takes passport photos for less than the post office, by the way), your birth certificate which has an official stamp on it - you might have to order a new one prior to applying for a passport - check with your state where you were born, your identification like a driver's license, a signed and notarized form for any child from a non-present parent - all children and people applying must apply in person. If you do not get your passport within reasonable time, you'll have to make an appointment with the passport office to make up a new passport, and you'll need basically the same application items as in your first application, plus extra items. They will reimburse you for the second set of passport photos - bring the first and second photo receipt with you, plus the receipt for the first application (showing that you paid for the application the first time), plus the bank statement which shows your check or credit card was cashed. You'll need another certified birth certificate, and for a child another notarized statement from a parent not going to the appointment. The child will have to come with you if passport is for her - anyone who is needing the passport must appear in person. You may not be lucky to be in the general area or state as your passport office - so it can be a hassle to get there. Plan your passport early.

Cruise Tips Before taking a cruise - think of all the things you need to take and prepare for - you'll enjoy it more and spend less. Be prepared to pay 5-12% per person per day tip charge to be distributed among the crew - if you don't want to be automatically charged, tell the front desk and individually tip the people you think deserve it. If you dispute your service, reconcile that before you get to the end of the cruise. Your cruise may add up the tips and other receipts on your final bill - keep track of expenses while you are on the cruise or you may have a shock - it's easy to spend a couple dollars here or there without really realizing it. You might not be able to retrieve your luggage at the end of the cruise until you settle up your final bill. Ask before drinking water from the faucet - may or may not be potable water, and you want to avoid getting sick. Stick to the bottled water if not sure, and refill the bottles at the eating areas when they have it available - rather than buying bottles of water over and over. Take some laundry soap so you can wash clothes in your sink if needed. Some ships allow you to wash your clothes. others charge a hefty sum to wash for you. Bring your own hangers if you wash clothes - you'll want to be able to hang dry on the hangers in other areas of your room. You may be charged by each piece of clothing - why pay $2.50 or more for each pair of underwear - wash them yourself and leave the nicer and bigger clothes for the crew to wash. With underwear, just take it into the shower with you and use laundry soap (or even shampoo) and scrub it, wring it, and hang it on a towel rack. Bring stuff to do - you may get tired of the entertainment on board - some can be pretty cheesy. Bring lots of nicer clothes, nice casual. No cut-offs or sloppy jeans. There are usually 1-2 formal nights for dinner, and other dinners may require slacks or dress for women, and suit with tie for men. Be ready for lots of photos - taken all the time - at dinners, at ports when you get off, when you go to cocktails, and at the formal dinners. If you don't want your photo taken, just say no thanks firmly. Internet costs quite a bit to use - be ready to pay. Find out as much as you can about your ship, your cruise, and don't forget to look at previous reviews from other people who've taken the same cruise or have been on the same ship. Find out the charges for all the "complimentary" items stocked in your refrigerator - they may be quite expensive to consume. Find out what all is complimentary on your cruise, and what is not - or you can add some pretty high charges to your totals by the end of the trip - and be in for a shock when you get your last bill! Keep all receipts to prove what you were charged for, and reconcile at the end. Certain cruises may have very few English-speaking guests - be ready for that before you go, or you'll have a rough time. Get a mindset about it first. See if you need to take motion sickness meds with you or if the ship provides them if needed. There are normally very good stabilizers on the ships, but rough waters can make it tough to get through so you might need it. Some people feel sick just looking over the edge, or to see the waves as the boat lists, or in watching the water go by. Bring snacks with you - there may be only certain hours you can eat, and they may be while you're on a port excursion, so you might get hungry between meals, or wish to take food with you on a port outing, or you might need a midnight snack sometime. If you forget to bring some, grab some at the restaurants and bring back to your room for emergencies. Bid on cruises and more at SkyAuction.

Travel Insurance Your normal coverage may not cover you while you travel, or if outside the country. You need to be prepared in case something happens unexpectedly. International Travel Insurance Travel Resources & Luggage When traveling, find out about the place you are going to - the weather, seasonal temperatures, best places to see, precautions to take, etc. Start packing a week or two early, and when you use something you packed, list it so you will remember to put it back - this will give you time to realize thing you might have forgotten about, or to think about what you do not need to take. Finalize the packing 1-2 days prior to the trip. Don't lock your luggage or pack wrapped gifts - airlines must check luggage randomly (or if there is reason to be suspicious). You might want to invest in a wallet that wraps around your waist so it cannot be easily taken from you (from your back wallet or purse). My father got "bumped into" by a man and as he was helping my dad get reoriented, an accomplice took his wallet out at the moment of the bump so my dad would not realize it. Do not keep passports, credit cards, identification, etc. where it can be taken from you. Do something different with your luggage - have a funky travel tag, or wrap some interesting tape onto the handle, or write your initials on it in large enough letters - to make it easy to pick out from all the luggage that comes off the plane - people don't always check what they pick up - make yours stand out a little (not a lot) so it's easy for you to pick out, and easy for others to tell it's not theirs. Digital Cameras & More - record your trip for all to see, and to cherish any memories, plus learn how to use them. Samsonite luggage is what I use - great, strong luggage, many pockets and removable bag for toiletries, made it to Scandinavia and back without incident or tears. Airline handlers are just not very careful or gentle, so buy sturdy luggage. I highly recommend Samsonite for your travel luggage!

There are 2 groups of campers, one on the seacoast and one on a high mountain, and each group drops eggs into boiling water. Which campers will get hard boiled eggs first? The answer is "The one on the seacoast - the higher up the elevation, the lower the boiling point, so it will take longer to cook the eggs to the hard boiled stage."
