Use index cards to communicate - International travel tip
If you're unfamiliar with the native language of the country you're visiting, index cards can be your best friend. Before I travel, I always write down common questions and sayings on index cards in the native language to make communication easier. Write the questions or sayings in the country's native language on one side and on the side, write the English translation. (This way, you don't accidentally ask the taxi driver where the ladies room is.)
Things you should include on your card include asking about bathrooms, police, hotels, and any other issues you think you may face. Also, be sure to write down your allergies, medical conditions, and medications.
Wear your room key - Cruise tip
When you're on a cruise, you'll probably find yourself spending time getting some sun on the deck. Many passengers decide to leave their room key on their lounge chair when they're swimming in the pool. This leaves your room key available to everyone who walks by. Get a key chain necklace and put your room key on it. Wear this around your neck at all times to avoid losing it or having it stolen.
