What is the Fastest Way to Travel?
In a hurry? Then it’s time to make plane reservations; right? Not necessarily. When you factor in the time it takes to get to and from the airport, the time you spend checking in and then walking what seems like miles to your departure area, and then waiting for the plane to be boarded, etc., etc., there are many times when it’s more time-efficient (and simpler) to take a train, a bus, or a car.
And now with the prices at the gas pump so much lower, driving is a serious option. Plus you won’t have to rent a car when you get there! Check all of your options and do a price comparison as well as an arrival-time comparison; and never assume anything until you do all of your homework.
Luggage Identification Hints
Here are some luggage safe-travel hints when traveling by air, car, train, or on a cruise:
Although properly-labeled luggage will increase the likelihood of it being returned to you if it gets lost, it also can send out a message to criminals that you are leaving your house available for them to rob at a leisurely pace. The point is that many people put their name, home address, and home telephone number on their luggage tags, like a neon sign that says, “I’m not going to be home for awhile. Rob me!” Instead, use your office address, if you have one, or a post office box number (which is better). Also, put your office or a friend’s telephone number, since you might not be there to answer the phone if someone is trying to locate the owner of your luggage.
Another precaution: always put your complete identification information INSIDE your luggage as well . . . taped or glued securely as a permanent part of your luggage. Luggage tags can be accidentally pulled off, or destroyed by the weather (rain or snow, for example).
