[shudder]. No really, a little EQ - managing the attitude, and

using the ole noggin' can make it almost pleasant!



1. Pack your patience and your Emotional Intelligence.



Turn down the emotiong, turn up the forethought. Example -

research your destination on the Internet prior for websites

where individuals (not paid interests) can tell you what you can

^anticipate^.



2. Pre-arrange everything you possibly can air, hotel, car,

restaurant, attractions, plays.



3. Make copies of your passport, travelers checques, credit

cards, itinerary, and airline tickets. Carry one copy with you

and leave one copy with your designated emergency-contact.



4. Carry with you the address and phone number of your countrys

embassy (consulate) for each country youll visit. if you should

need them, you won't want to be looking.



5. Take any regular medication in your hand luggage and be sure

you have more than enough for your trip. (Remember needles and

scissors cant be in hand luggage.)



6. Check the US State Dept. advisories, www.travelstate.gov,

before your go for immunizations, hazards and other pertinent

information; the Overseas Security Advisory Council,

www.ds-osac.org, and the Transportation Security Administration

site, www.tsatraveltips.us.



7. You'll know you'll be eaiting, so use your EQ and figure out

how to make it A Good Thing.



Use e-ticket and online checkin when you can. Bring along

that book youve been meaning to read Bring a pre-paid phone

call and catch up with buddies Bring a neck pillow and plan to

catch up on your rest Dress appropriately for sitting or lying

around an airport for a long time loose clothing that can be

abused



8. Use your neocortex when you pack, not your brain-stem. (You

KNOW the rules, abide by them! Exorcize from the brain-stem

another time, another place.)



Pack carry-ons lightly so they can be checked more easily

Check the checked baggage allowance and be sure your name and

contact details are on the outside of each bag Avoid packing

anything that looks like a weapon (guide anything you wouldnt

give an 18 mo. old free access to nail file, letter opener,

knitting needle, and the more obvious hand grenades) When

traveling to and from North America, TSA recommends not locking

checked baggage Check here www.tsa.dot.gov for common items

which become hazardous in flight due to temperature changes and

pressure, and dont pack them.



9. Be sure you have a valid passport and any required Visas and

be prepared to show them at any point along the way.



10. Know the rules of security checkpoints and abide by them.



Only ticketed passengers can proceed beyond it All

electronic items will be screened laptops and cells. Remove

laptop from travel case. Keep ticket and boarding pass and ID

within easy reach like on neck chain Wear shoes easy to

remove and as little jewelry as possible
