1. Bring a light.

2. Bring bottled water.

3. Bring soap.

4. Bring a weapon.

5. Get a rail pass and sleep on the train. No hotel bills=CHEAP vacation.

6. Make a plan. You can plan excitement. You still don't know what's going to happen. Planning can make sure you get everything you want to done before you have to renew your pass.

7. Have a safe burial spot for your cash. Don't trust banks? Neither do I!

8. Lock your luggage. Remember Schapelle Corby.

9. Put something gross in your luggage. Remember Schapelle Corby. Mark your territory! Take a pair of underpants and stain them brown in stragegic areas, or something. If people see something gross on top of your luggage they're less apt to want to touch it.

10. Put a weapon in your luggage. Declare it. That way they track your luggage carefully and don't have an excuse to lose it.

11. Better yet, travel light, then you won't have any luggage to check. Traveling light is better anyway if you plan to bring home tons of stuff from your vacation.



Add yours!

Always bring gum with you on an airplane and chew it as you ascend into the air and descend to the ground. (Trust me, your ears will thank you for it later!)

Obey the guide's advice when they say don't drink the water, or bring lots of stuff to read. Preferably the former.

Make sure you are physically fit enough to either squat on a Turkish toilet or wait till you can use another one.


Don't drink a lot in Turkey if you don't like Turkish toilets.


Don't go to the Regent Palace Hotel in London.


If you're going to Mumbai/Bombay, don't say "I'm going to Bombay" when in the airport.


Don't ask if your 12-gauge piercing jewelry will set off the metal detector. People might mishear and think you're talking about a 12-gauge shotgun.
