Luggage

Posted in Uncategorized  on June 30th, 2008 by: Lisa

How can you travel without luggage?  You really can’t.  Bill and I have starting looking at possibly getting some new luggage since I think we got ours when we got married (which was 7 years ago).  We have taken several trips with it, and it is starting to show its wear and tear now.  One of the suitcases doesn’t even zip up anymore!  With having 4 of us needing suitcases now, we definitely need some that close and look up to the task.

While checking out Luggage Online, it definitely looks like Travelpro Luggage is the way to go. With 851 reviews, they score 4 stars on all the important categories such as durability, design, buy again, overall, etc.  The picture you see to the left here is one of the Travelpro luggage sets that I really like.  at a sale price of $152.96, it is a great deal.  You can get it in black or blue (and honestly, I would go with blue.  Everybody has black luggage, and it makes it incredibly difficult at the airport to figure out which luggage is yours!)  I love all the extra storage pockets.  I like to be organized and this would allow me to do so.  All these suitcases also fit into one another, so they are a spacesaver once you get home.  Besides this cool luggage set, Travelpro does have several other kinds of luggage — from duffle bags to computer briefcases on wheels.  There is a little something for everyone here, so make sure you check out Travelpro Luggage the next time you need luggage.

What you should know when you travel

Posted in Advice  on June 26th, 2008 by: Lisa

When traveling abroad, make sure you know the customs in the area you are in.  Here are a few tips for you:

  • Argentine humor can be insulting.  They poke fun at your appearance, weight, and/or attire.
  • Don’t kiss the hand of an Austrian woman unless you are Austrian.
  • Don’t make the “OK” sign in Brazil since it is considered a rude gesture.
  • Don’t give a Chinese person a clock as gift, because it is viewed as a sinister action.  Clocks are associated with death.
  • Don’t be too touchy-feely in Denmark.
  • On the other hand, Italians like to hug.
  • Don’t use your left hand to eat in Egypt.
  • In Ghana, dont blow your nose at the dinner table.
  • When in India, make sure you leave a small amount of food on your plate.  If you clean it off, they think you are still hungry.
  • However, if you are in Kenya, you do need to finish everything off your plate, because it is polite.
  • Don’t talk with your hands or put your hands in your pockets while talking in Thailand.

Happy traveling!
