Visitor Visa Dramas and How To Avoid Them (AtoZ Travel Tips)

One of my favorite souvenirs of our trip around the world is my passport, filled up with visitor visas and permission to enter so many countries. The stories are the same. Never a moment of worry or visitor visa dramas that you hear about so often. We got off the plane in each country, queued up at immigration, handed our passport to the officer, he/she smiled and stamped us in while welcoming us to his homeland, and we went on to customs. In some countries there was a fee, but not always. That’s really all there is to it. Most [Read More]

Useful and Not So Useful Things To Pack For Extended Travel (AtoZ Travel Tips)

It’s really amazing how many not so useful things creep in to luggage. I don’t know where they come from, but one day you think you are traveling light, the next day you are wondering why you have a giant white bear. Seriously, if you really want to roll your eyes at the not so useful things people pack, check out a teens’ luggage, or for that matter any young adult who hasn’t traveled much in the past. Long-term travel has different luggage requirements. First off, you are lugging it around, so size does matter, and in this case [Read More]

Top 10 Silly Travel Movies - Countdown Blogfest

Altering the goal of Ninja Captain Alex‘s Top 10 Movie Countdown Blogfest slightly, I present you with the top 10 silly travel movies. You see, I am just not a rule follower. And these “rules” were simple. List your top ten favorite movies! That was it, one rule and I couldn’t even follow it. I figure since I focus on travel humor, my movie selections should too. After all, I did laugh at these ten movies, although if I had any dignity I wouldn’t admit it. So, I am not suggesting these are actually the top 10 best movies, but [Read More]

Swim Between the Flags for Wordless Wednesday *Linky

A school class comes to the beach and they swim between the flags: I know it’s all about safety, but somehow it’s funny to see all those people on the huge [Read More]

As I pulled out our backpack for my niece to carry on the adventure portion of her New Zealand travels, it reminded me that I promised to post my list of the top 10 essential things to bring when traveling around the world. Of course, my adventures weren’t quite as exciting exhilarating as hers have the potential to be, but we will wait until she is back to talk details. If you planned like I did, you will be avoiding extreme cold in exchange for a few shocking hot locations. If not, a good, travel down coat would be on [Read More]
