Travel Tips

Aids to easier travel suggested by people along the way or as a result of experience :
  • Pack a length of plastic drain pipe !  It's not heavy and can be stuffed with socks etc.  It comes into its own when you want to carry a poster, picture or bottle.  (Thanks to David with whom I travelled through Lebanon & Syria)
  • Half empty tooth paste tubes : Use a tube at home until it is half-empty and the put it aside for your next trip : it's a marginal saving on weight & space.
  • Free WiFi : At airports free WiFi often 'leaks' from airlines' lounges.  Find a nearby seat and you may be able to log on for free   (Thanks to David with whom I travelled through Lebanon & Syria)
