Tips for Happy Travel

Continued from page 6 servative than ours), that we'd wear when an Important Account comes to our house for a meal. No taffetas, tulles, heavy tweed raiment, or the like; no Hawaiian shirts (they make foreigners shudder!); a pair of comfortable old shoes for Him; two pairs for walking and one for glamour for Her. A favorite strength-hoarder of Nancy's is her high-fashion wig, which she pops over her coiffure whenever she's too busy, too tired, or too late in arriving at a strange city to visit a hairdresser. 6. Whenever you're cheated on a trivial amount (and you will be), pay it and forget it. What's the difference, for a lowly dime or quarter? Your blood-pressure index and your insurance company will be grateful. So will your companions, who will appreciate your equanimity. However, if the shearing runs into substantial money, quietly verify the entries and the arithmetic on all bills, and with equal quiet arrange for their correction if "errors" appear. (Please remember, however, that the European system often tags bills with unfamiliar but legitimate extras.) Finally, when the sommelier tosses you a patronizing sneer as he brandishes his wine list, don't let it start you on the road toward a coronary. (He does it to everybody.) Just sneer back, twice as hard—but calmly, of course! 7. Examine fellow tourists top, bottom, and sideways before offering or accepting overtures of friendship. On second sight, they might not be what you'd hoped—and we know of no greater strain than polite nonstop yakking with bores or clingers all the way from Tenafly to Tenerife. 8. Always take breakfast in your room—preferably in bed (yes, in bed!). If you charge downstairs so early, freshly attired and full of beans, you're unnecessarily burning up zillions of ergs which should be guarded for that long day ahead. Sissy? Not at all. It's a universal European-hotel custom, delightful once you've succumbed. 9. The siesta, in these two correspondents' opinions, ranks as the traveler's best friend—especially when the weather is hot. Dance your legs off the night before; sightsee your head off all morning; then, after a perfectly poured potion of your favorite bottled dalliance (to nudge Morpheus) and a delicious lunch, indulge yourself by stretching out in blissful languor for this daily 40 winks. You'll be the tiger of the evening's festivities—while less enlightened souls in the party will wilt like last month's lettuce. 10. Wine seems to be great any time for European digestions, but most American stomachs simply aren't built to cope with its acidity on an every-meal basis. Reserve its delights for the main repast only and curb your consumption to a top limit of three glasses. (Consolation: the ice water in every major European city is safe to drink—and, what's more, it's free.) Motorists and train trippers are often happy as hummingbirds if they invest in a small, local thermos and snacks of their choice for en route usage. The excitement of travel classically generates raging appetites. Gentle off-hour nibbling prevents overstuffed midriffs at the destination and subsequent dreams about in-laws in eight-hour marathons. To nail that dreaded whammy known as the Tourists' Complaint, a standard remedy called Entero-Vioform is available in almost any pharmacy on the Continental map. Salt tablets and dextrose are excellent picker-uppers on those steaming summer excursions, especially around the Mediterranean. And last (but kilometers from least), our candidate for the best tonic in the world for overeating, flatulence, hangovers, gas pains, lifting yourself off the floor when you've mixed oysters and bananas is Fernet Branca, the Italian bitters. The taste is horrible, but the effect is atomic. 11. Tiplets on energy saving: Mark all of your bags (even the overnighters) with your own private symbol in adhesive or miracle tape. The airport or hotel porter can then spot them at once—and you're off and running, while the rest of the mob continues to wigwag its arms and make like bird dogs. Before leaving the U.S.A., buy $10 worth of the currency of each nation you plan to visit. Sometimes there are long lines at the frontier change booths, and these delays can seem the last straw when you're weary. A currency converter—instant translation of unfamiliar foreign money into dollars—is an indispensable shortcut and convenience to any voyager. Carry your passport on your person—never in your luggage, which might be lost. Guard it more carefully than your wallet or your mate. Without them, you can move—but without that priceless document, you're liable to be up to your collarbone in foreign-police molasses. 12. Arrange in advance for your sloth. Allot your major indolence spadework to your travel agent. On the larger issues, he'll keep you wrapped in cotton. Set forth with the advance awareness that European innkeepers, shopkeepers, waiters, maids, and other staffers expect to give you better, more comprehensive, and more personal service than do their colleagues in the States. Hand your passport to the striped-pants reception clerk at the front desk of your hotel and get him to fill in your registration forms. Ask the concierge (hall porter who wears the crossed keys) to send someone out to buy your aspirin or to arrange the repair of your broken-zippered suitcase or to perform any trivial errand that would needlessly expend your time or your energy. Turn over your packages or bulky brief case to a chasseur, picciolo, or botones—page boy, in English—and let him lug everything to your room. Get the floor valet or the maid to do the lion's share of your packing and unpacking, whenever you're overtired or overrusbed or over-anythinged. Furnish the name of the restaurant or store you wish to call to the switchboard girl and let her bump her head against the mysteries of that exotic phone directory. Order your taxis from upstairs and let them tell you when they're ready at the door. Reserve your railway seats (when permissible) through the concierge at least 48 hours in advance and let the station porter fight your path through the milling, pushing throng to that beachhead of calm which your foresight has secured.
