Get Set BEFORE You Go
Continued from page 14 study—you won't get them free over there anyhow) and a good navigator (families can decide who will do the best job). Don't, don't, don't count on members of the local constabulary to speak English. It seems to be almost a requirement for their employment that they don't! Incidentally, one of the happiest by-products of this mode of travel is the chance it offers to have at least one meal a day on the road, picnic-style—which is cost-, calorie-, and digestion-saving. Keeping The Homes Fires Banked. Aside from stopping the milk and all those other cartoon subjects, there are quite a few musts if you expect a happy home-coming. If your house is to be occupied, leave a list of all service and professional people and were things are, such as the thermostat, extra blankets, etc. If the house is not rented, arrange for someone to have a key and to look at your mail, notify your friendly local police force to check the premises regularly (even if it means an extra ticket to the ball or the fireworks display), and see that a responsible person has a copy of your itinerary.

You can get a weight check by balancing the bag with your fingertips on the bathroom scales. One way to keep from forgetting what you're taking along is to devote a room, or at least a closet, exclusively to packing and your travel wardrobe. And a good rule in packing is: When in doubt, don't! Cash, Credit, And Conversion: There's no need to change money at home, except for a small quantity of the currency of your first-stop country. Best friend overseas is a wallet full of credit cards. They won't get you everywhere and everything—as at home—but they are wonderful for expensive purchases and for the better hotels and restaurants. Best of all overseas is American Express; you can charge at their listed places, and you can use your card in the American Express offices themselves, for such items as air and rail travel, guided tours and car rentals. Carry a flock of personal checks; in France you can use them to buy at a discount from prices you would pay if you used cash, and elsewhere they are often easier to use than at home. And, Continued
