The Coral Gables Times

obviously, carry the bulk of your funds in travelers' checks instead of coin of any realm. Do You Have To Know The Language? No—but it certainly helps. However, unless you're really good at a country's language, better not try to spout it. Your safest interpreter is still that little old phrase book—as much a joke as it has been. It certainly came in handy for us, for instance, to be able to point to the words, "My auto won't start," one Sunday morning in a small town, where our car stopped dead in the middle of the street at a traffic light—we got only bewildered headshakes or irritated horn blasts when we spoke our mother tongue. Who Says It's A Bargain? If you're going to Europe just to shop, you'd do better to stay at home. The truth is, with our smart import buyers and discount houses, you can find almost everything just as inexpensively here and not have to lug it all over Europe. Among the few exceptions are French perfume, the liquor of the country, real objets d'art, and good Swiss tapieces. If you feel that you must bring home foreign gifts—if for no other reason than being able to say casually, "This came from Edinburgh—" buy them from good specialty stores. Enquire about outlets for handwork, cottage industries, and work done by the blind. They often have unusual and lovely things. You're Off! Get to the airport or pier well before time. (You will find it is even more important, when in unfamiliar European situations, to be ahead of time for all departures.) The timetables aren't kidding when they try to get you there early. They know more about big-city traffic than you may—and, besides, there's lots to do over and above the bon voyage gaiety. Travelers' insurance, for instance . . . and have you some money changed and ready for porters' tips and the first taxi ride in the country of your arrival? Don't neglect the opportunity you have only once to buy tax-free U.S. liquor and cigarettes to be delivered to your plane or boat. Of course, if you speak French, Italian, German, and Spanish fluently—have all your reservations made (and paid for) through a reliable agent like Cook's or American Express—have intelligent and hospitable friends scattered conveniently around Europe—are leaving the house and children in Grandmother's capable care—you didn't need to read this article. You're set! (But don't cut the time too close, getting to that boat or plane!)
