Saving money abroad. 

Watching out for fraud.

Condensing Baggage

Travel hazard. 

Fraud, and paying necessary and avoiding unnecessary expenses

The Parking Ticket.

Small economies will be offset by the fraudulent additions to your credit or debit cards you use when you travel abroad, but you may feel better about them  We found these: we are just back from Switzerland, Austria, Liechtenstein and Northern Italy, that additional region now added to our earlier southern-focused Italy Road Ways.

I. First, the frauds: 

The multiple swipes game. There may the vendor that says the first swipe of your card, even the second, did not go through; then you find two or three expenses reported on your credit bill, instead of one. Leave if the first swipe does not go through.

Prepare for the worst.

What if you don't come back?

As the....

Imagine the unimaginable. You die. Fuss?  No.  Plan? Yes. Simply plan what you can for yours, and move on with your other decisions.  Death planning. Go ahead. Say it.  And now this:  the Post Mortem Sorters. The Sorters are coming.

Welcome to Europe Road Ways, our own trips. Find a map and a guidebook and go.
We began the easy way: We chose Ireland several years ago, with its similar language and food, its small geographical area comparatively, some family roots, and we had only to cope with driving on the left.

From that, we branched out to see other countries and regions in Europe, each trip some two weeks. We eat and sleep wherever, and have so far found consistently safe and clean places. We cross borders freely (no itinerary). How to find us if we disappear? We carry lots of ID, register at consulates or embassies sometimes, and email home our plans as we make them.

Side benefits: For parent-child travel, the child becomes adult, a full participant in decisions. Whether related to the trips or just Himself, Dan has developed substantial street-smarts, and is a history buff. He is an inquisitive, responsible citizen of a larger world.
