Tips for Traveling Abroad
Author: Kyle Combs  | Posted: 04-09-2007 | Comments: 0 | Views: 13 | Rating: (50)  (?) 
Traveling abroad can be extremely exciting, especially if you have never been to a foreign country. There are so many things to see and experience, so many different cultures and so many things to learn. It is also important to consider the inherent dangers as well. Being aware of these can make you trip safer and more pleasurable.
1)The first suggestion I can offer when going to another country is to consider travel insurance. Travel insurance is good for several reasons, it protects you from flight cancellations, lost luggage and also any unexpected medical cost that could arise.
2)Another thought is to copy all of your documents like passports, Id's, boarding passes, credit cards, travel vouchers, and medical prescriptions. This is just in case the event arises that anything is stolen or goes missing you can still prove who you are which is a huge potential burden off of your shoulders.
3)When it comes time for you to begin your journey, it's best to arrive early. This way you can check in your bags and have time to get through all of the added security. Have passports, boarding passes and anything else you need to get through security readily available this way you don't have to fumble through your bag every time you're asked.
4)When you arrive in a foreign country awareness is the key. To keep your property safe, keep it close at all times. Try to take things with you that you are bit going to need. Also make sure to avoid scams that locals like to play on travelers. Finally, stay in public places, avoid wondering off down the dark alley ways in the middle of the night.
5)Lastly it's a good idea to know the currency exchange rate. A good website to check is www.xe.com/ucc/. Go to a bank preferably because they offer the most current rate. Finally you may want to consider travelers checks, you can purchase them from your local back.
The key point is, when you travel internationally you want your trip to go as safe and hassle free as possible. Do a little research, make preparations and don't forget to take some great pictures.

Looking for a smallish guitar
By: sixvlt | 22-08-2008
I'm looking for a quality "travel" guitar partially because I travel and also because I'm a small gal with tiny hands (like a kids hands) and my full size guitar is killing my fingers. I know playing guitar is no easy feat but I have to crane just to get all my fingers across the strings. I'm a complete novice but have a good ear so sound is important. I'd also like to avoid spending a ton of money as I've got a great sounding full size guitar at home and the new one might get a little beat down on the road. Any suggestions?
