<p>As everyone does not lead the same life these reasons many vary from person to person. Travelling is an activity of which various persons are fond. There may be domestic or may be international travelling.International trips every year are not affordable by the common man and hence they prefer domestic travelling and generally also they travel more of domestic. Travelling within the country limits is called domestic travelling whereas travelling beyond that is considered as international travelling and is also known as travelling abroad. Various places in the world are preferred by the rich people during the international trips they always have. Outside the country limits this place may be in any part. The person travelling would always get some International travel tips from his relatives before the trip. Some of these would be carrying medicines, proper warm clothes if it is in the winter season.

<p>Nowadays, there are too many regulations and restrictions with respect to the articles that may or may not be taken along in the airplane, mainly during international travel. In case you know the rules, you could get a better experience at the airport, and save some time in the security checks rather than getting caught in the rules and regulations that are an integral part of such security check.</p>
<p>Some handy International Airport Travel Tips</p>
<p>Prior to getting to the airport, avoid bringing or packing the banned items. In case you are planning to take any valuables -a laptop, cash, jewelry- put them in your carry-on luggage. Stick a business card, or a postcard with your details mentioned on it, to the bottom side of your laptop. Book your reservations early with a reliable dealer this is among the most suitable and handy international airport travel tips which I can offer you. Write down your confirmation number and the information pertaining to your taxi driver. If you are thinking of using the local transport, make certain that you know the pick-up and drop locations.</p>
<p>One of the most imperative international airport travel tip is to possess the government-issues photo ID and boarding pass available till you are out of the security checkpoint. You might require to show these documents on a number of occasions due to all of the different regulations.</p>
<p>A handy international airport travel tip is to keep your mobile phone, keys, PDA, large belt buckles, money clips, jewelry and loose change safely in your carry-on baggage prior to getting into the screening checkpoint.</p>
<p>A great international airport travel tip is to locate the list of the airport rules in practice in the country that you are traveling to. If you look on the internet you could locate this information present for a huge number of countries. Prior to starting your travel, a handy and fruitful international airport travel tip is to consider any special needs such as wheelchair, people traveling with pets or kids traveling alone. Figure out the ways in which the airport would be taking care of these requirements. Making use of an online check in tool before you leave for the airport could aid you prevent long lines.</p>
<p>One more international airport travel tip is to call up the airlines, and check if your flight is on schedule. There also exists a lot of factors which may cause a delay to the flight like weather, a terror threat and many other reasons. Leave well in advance to catch your flight, but not before you have contacted and confirmed your flight time over the phone. It is a wonderful plan to make an emergency airport survival kit that might have an eye shade, bottle water, ear plugs, books, magazines, disinfectant wipes, personal music device, snacks, pen, post-its, a tiny pillow, toilet and tissue paper, a few regular medicines, camera, and a power bar.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When it comes to receiving advice regarding travel you will find that people will mostly talk about flying and airports as well as hotels and budgets as well as choice destinations. However, there is another side to travel that most people are not aware of and for which a few choice travel tips are available. A travel tip need not necessarily always help you save money but it can still prove to be invaluable for people that travel &#8211; whether they travel often or casually.</p>
<p><strong>Removing Gum</strong></p>
<p>A simple travel tip is the one related to gum. Not many people are aware that in order to remove gum from your hair or from your garments or from your shoes, the best solution is to use ice cubes that will help in hardening the gum sufficiently to make it easy to break it off. You should also welcome another useful though less well known travel tip which pertains to removing collar stains.</p>
<p>The best way to remove collar stains is to pour some hair shampoo on the stain and to then spread the shampoo to all parts of the collar. Shampoos are effective in removing oils from a person&#8217;s hair and will also do the same for skin oil that causes collar stains.</p>
<p>Often, a situation arises when you have to wash your clothes but your hotel does not have its own laundry to help you get the clothes clean. A simple travel tip in this regard is to hang your clothes in the bathroom in which all the lights are switched on. By morning, you will find that your clothes will have dried out completely and will look clean as well.</p>
<p>Sometimes room flies might bug you in your hotel room and you also don&#8217;t have bug sprays to get rid of the flies. A simple travel tip in this regard shows you the benefit of using hair sprays instead. On the other hand, in order to freshen up your clothes you can also use laundry detergent which can be applied to places where you sweat a lot such as your underarms and the front of your shirt. Then you can rinse off the detergent and dry your clothes and have them looking fresh and clean once more.</p>
<p>For those people who are neophytes about traveling to foreign countries there are several useful international travel tips that will help ensure smoother travel. Some of the travel tips that you will come across are those that are a bit out of the ordinary and ones that people normally do not think about. However, many times an occasion will arise when these very uncommon travel tips will come in very handy and so are well worth learning about.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>First, the best time for the Jiuzhaigou Huanglong travel is July,August and September. Jiuzhaigou Huanglong is famous of its beautiful water. You can see the real attractions of Jiuzhaigou Huanglong during this period of time. Another good thing is that you can avoid the gold holidays of China, which means a very crowded Jiuzhaigou Huanglong for the travellers.</p>
<p>If you wanna travel with a travel agency, there are two options to get in: by bus or by air. The bus will start from Chengdu and it takes 2 whole days for the round trip to Jiuzhaigou Huanglong. This is a long trip and you will be exhausted when reaching Jiuzhaigou Huanglong. But the advantage is that you will see the beautiful views in the bus when travelling from Chengdu to Jiuzhaigou Huanglong. This can be a very good experience for the people who is been here for the first time. I will recommend you to travel by air. Jiuzhaigou Huanglong has a airport named Jiu Huang Airport. You can save a lot of time if you fly to Jiuzhaigou from Chengdu. The Jiu Huang Airport is about 2 hours&#8217; ride from Jiuzhaigou Huanglong. The only disadvantage of this kind of transportation is that the weather of Jiuzhaigou Huanglong is not so good for the planes to take off or land. Lots of tour guides say that it is very common for the plane to delay 6-10 hours. When I visited Jiuzhaigou for the first time, the plane arrived on time and my tour guide who picked me up at the airport said it is a big surprise for him. <img src='http://www.theotherspot.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' />  I am not always this lucky. When I left Jiuzhaigou Huanglong, the plane delayed for 5 hours. <img src='http://www.theotherspot.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':-(' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Another choice is the bagpack travelling. Lots of young people like this kind of tours. There are flights connecting Jiuzhaigou Huanglong with many big cities of China (transfer at Chengdu). You can fly to Chengdu first, then transfer to a tourist bus to Jiuzhaigou Huanglong. There are tourist buses heading from Chengdu to Jiuzhaigou Huanglong every day and the bus fare is not high (about 100 rmb). (you can get more China travel guide, China vacations, China travel tips at Travel2ChinaInfo Dot COM)</p>
<p>About Jiuzhaigou:</p>
<p>Known in English as Jiuzhai Valley it lies at the southern end of the Minshan mountain range, 330 km north of the provincial capital of Chengdu. It is part of the Jiuzhaigou County (formerly Nanping County) in the Aba Tibetan Qiang Autonomous Prefecture of northwestern Sichuan province, near the Gansu border.(you can get more China travel guide, China vacations, China travel tips at Travel2ChinaInfo Dot COM)</p>
<p>The valley covers at least 240 square km, with some protection organizations giving the area as 600 to 720 square km, with buffer zones covering an additional 400 to 600 square km. Its elevation, depending on the area considered, ranges from 1,998 to 2,140 m (at the mouth of Shuzheng Gully) to 4,558 &#8211; 4,764 m (on Mount Ganzigonggai at the top of Zechawa Gully).</p>
<p>The climate is cool temperate with a mean annual temperature of 7.2 C, with means of 1 C in January and 17 C in July. Total annual rainfall is 661 mm, 80% of which occurs between May and October.</p>
<p>Jiuzhaigou is composed of three valleys arranged in a Y shape. The Rize and Zechawa valleys flow from the south and meet at the centre of the site where they form the Shuzheng valley, flowing north to the mouth of the valley. The mountainous watersheds of these gullies are lined with 55 km of roads for shuttle buses, as well as boardwalks and small pavilions. The boardwalks are typically located on the opposite side of the lakes from the road, shielding them from disturbance by passing buses.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For many travelers, one of the central sources of angst and confusion is how to tip in a manner that is neither miserly, nor extravagant. Travelers run into far more situations where tipping is a concern than they would in their everyday life at home. And it&#8217;s made more uncomfortable due to the fact that when visiting abroad, the customs are foreign and easily misunderstood. Taxi drivers, porters, valets, waiters, and barbers/hairstylists are just some of the people you will encounter who will provide you with a service, and may or may not expect or require a gratuity.</p>
<p>The first key to understanding tipping is realizing the situation at hand. Starting with restaurants, the general rule is between 10-20% of the bill before taxes. Some people choose to tip extra if they feel the service is outstanding, while many will leave a small tip or not tip at all if they feel the service is terrible. However, not leaving a tip because the service did not meet expectations can often lead to a confrontation. It is often better to leave some kind of a tip; but be sure address the situation with the manager. It is also vital to know the local customs when it comes to tipping. In America, tipping is expected, and we are known to be some of the most generous tippers around. Many people in the service industry depend on tips to supplement their wages, which are often set artificially low in expectation of the tips they will receive. The key thing to remember is that tipping is a personal decision, but it affects others. So the idea of treating others as you would want to be treated clearly resonates. Be wary of restaurants that add a tip to the bill automatically: no one should pay two tips for the same meal.</p>
<p>In Europe, workers in the service industries are generally paid higher wages than in America, and therefore tipping is not always customary. When people do tip they generally tip less than in the states. However, it varies from country to country. Central European countries like Germany, Switzerland, Austria, and Holland tip between 5-10% as a common practice, although it is not always required to tip. Countries like Spain and Italy are not advocates of tipping. In France and the Scandinavian countries, a service charge is included in the bill, while Ireland and the U.K. generally adhere to an optional tipping policy. When traveling in Europe, unless you are in Spain or Italy, it is generally a good idea to leave a tip close to 10% unless the charge is included, or the service was not satisfactory.</p>
<p>Traveling in Asia is often a culture shock, and this is magnified when it comes to tipping. While most of the globe follows the thinking that gratuities are required, or at the very least expected, many countries in Asia strictly forbid it, and many service workers will be offended if you attempt to tip them. Tipping is not the custom in India, China, Korea, Taiwan, and especially Japan. Likewise, in Australia and New Zealand, tipping has not historically been a custom and it is not expected, although the practice is growing, and has become especially common in the tourist areas.</p>
<p>Other parts of the globe also have some guidelines for tipping. Canada is very similar to the U.S., as is Mexico. The key thing to keep in mind when traveling is to be respectful of the customs in the country you are visiting. It is also better to lean towards generosity rather than stinginess when in doubt. Also, keep in mind that many restaurants and hotels add on a charge for gratuity, so carefully inspect the bill before leaving a tip. Furthermore, if you are traveling on business it is especially important that you represent yourself well. Always be sure to tip well when it is called for, and give your client the impression that you are interested in seeing others succeed. Tipping is definitely a touchy subject for many, but if you can master it, then you will enjoy yourself far more, and also ensure the happiness of those around you.</p>

<p>India, a nation of unity in diversity, has myriad of rich history, culture, heritage, religions, traditions, cuisines and people. It is a magical domain and most people fall in love with this country as soon as they come here. Even after the modern influence of western countries, India still remains, somewhat, a conservative country. Some western habits are perceived as inappropriate and degrading if practiced by women here. Some travel tips for women travelers in India would make their trip more exciting and easy. Because of the social conservatism, it&#8217;s important that women travelers educate themselves to India&#8217;s social mores and culture to best prepare for a safe journey.</p>
<p>Women travelers in India should be extremely particular about their clothing, safety, packing , monetary matters, language and shopping. These tips will prove beneficial making your journey a lifetime experience. With regards to clothing tips for women travelers in India avoid wearing too revealing dresses. Low cut, tight-fitting shirts, tank tops, skirts that fall above the knees, shorts and bikinis are highly discouraged. While swimsuits can be worn in beach resort areas such as Goa, consider wearing a conservative one-piece and covering yourself with a sarong and t-shirt when you&#8217;re not sunbathing or when you are interacting with locals. Short sleeve cotton shirts can be worn in warmer climates but they should be loose fitting and not revealing. Observe the locals and dress a bit more conservatively than the most liberally dressed woman. You can incorporate some of the local dress into your outfits by shopping once you arrive in-country. Purchase a locally made blouse or delicate scarf or shawl to wear over your Western-style clothes.</p>
<p>Safety tips for women travelers in India should be of the prime concern. You should be alert of the opportunistic thieves. Your personal safety and the potential theft of your belongings should be taken care of. To prevent sexual harassment, keep your arms folded in front of you in large crowds and on public transportation. It&#8217;s best not to initiate conversations that could be construed as flirtatious or personal and sidestep answering personal questions about yourself. If you&#8217;re traveling alone or with a female friend, invent a husband and make it clear that you are not interested in anyone else. Avoid situations where you may find yourself alone with a man. When traveling on public transportation, lock your bags together with a cable lock and then to a stationary object such as a bench or immovable seat.</p>
<p>The lighter the bag, the lesser you sag ! Nothing new to say here except &#8216;Travel Light&#8217;. Yet, in your enthusiasm to have a weightless bag, do not throw out the essentials. Inclusion of sun screen lotion, sun glasses, umbrella, brimmed hats is important to guard you against sun tan. Also include eye patches, camera, water bottle, first aid kit. Pack your bag according to the region and climate you are traveling in. Your day bag may contain the essentials (camera, book, lip balm, tissues, pen, journal, light snack). A bag made of slash-proof material and strap is ideal.</p>
<p>While traveling, you should be sure that you are carrying your money safely. Though there are no such risks of people snatching your money, it is always better to be safe than sorry. Pouches that can be fastened with an attached belt to your waist and can also be worn under clothing are best. This is the most popular and safest way to carry money safely. Your money and other valuable documents like ATM cards, passports and credit cards also in the pouch should be kept hidden from others. Keep some loose change in your pockets for giving to beggars who might mob you. Do not flash rolls of currency notes in front of them. You can also lose the purse and carry a variety of currency options in at least two locations on your body.</p>
<p>With regards to lingua franca, for most parts of India you won&#8217;t really need to mug up any local lingo. Yet, if sometime you get stuck, Hindi should help you get going. It is spoken in fair parts of north India and understood in the west too. Down south is the domain of the Dravidian languages. It&#8217;s either English or a regional language that will do the trick. So, pick up some words in both Hindi and regional language and get going.</p>
<p>The shopping enthusiast women cannot resist the temptation of picking up the Indian expertises. The the Indian bazaars &#8211; a place that puts your temptation resistance skills at test, are stuffed with bright and beautiful things &#8211; handicrafts, silks, ethnic jewelry, curios and what have you. You can shop till you drop. But you should try to strike the best deal so do not hesitate to bargain. Be ready to pay additional customs and handling charges.</p>
<p>No place round the globe is that safe for women traveler but keeping these tips in mind, your trip to India will at least be unscathed and secure. Wear your smile and stick tight to your sense of humor with presence of mind. It will definitely help you through the multitudinous complexities that make up a trip to this fascinating region.</p>

<p>Before we jump let me point out that I not going to cover the typical surface travel tips. Instead we are going cover the principle travel tips and discover what mind set is needed to gain the best experience wherever you go.</p>
<p>Some of these travel tips will be hard for you to apply but after 8 years of traveling the world I have found these 5 travel tips to become a motto and guideline for me. I hope that you take them in and really consider them the next time you take off to gain more experiences.</p>
<p>While traveling outside US, documentation is an important part of your trip. Outside US and even in other States, you and your luggage are recognized by your documents. Carrying proper travel related documents and identity proofs could help you avoid unnecessary jitters.</p>

You should also leave a copy of your documents with some friends, which they can fax to you if you loose yours. Ask your travel agent or friends who have gone to those destinations about the necessary travel tips for documents.</p>
<p>The first of the important travel tips for international travels is to find out from the credit card company if you can use your card in international locations. Also find out from the credit card company the charges that are applicable on your card. Confirm from them if the current PIN will work in other countries or you need an international PIN to use ATM machines at international locations and what are the conversion charges. It is also important to have their local help line numbers and the list of ATM locations close to the destinations you plan to visit.</p>
<p>Many families are finding it hard to come up with the money to take a vacation, with the rise in prices for almost everything in the last few years. But taking a vacation does not have to be expensive. There are many money saving travel tips to be found to save the average traveler a lot of money.</p>
<p>Regardless of age or income, everyone can benefit from money saving travel tips. Whether aiming for a four-star, week-long vacation or a weekend getaway, there are travel tips that can save you money to be found with a little searching. These tips can save you money on everything from hotels, to airfare, to food.</p>
<p>The next time you take your yearly vacations, take a peek at what Iran offers you before deciding on your travel itinerary. You will be surprised by the gamut of vacationing options available here. The vista unfolding before you is one of a beautiful country with its rich traditions and exciting landscape. The friendly people beckon you to visit and have a taste of the variety on offer.</p>
