Sorry, I had to laugh at that one. Another tip is to make sure you head for the right boarding gate. My son missed a very important business meeting because...
Wade, where were you going to/from? On times, also be aware of flights at 12:15am. That is, it's not 12:15am on Wednesday but on Thursday. Made that mistake...
That´s a good one. We did something similar in Santiago last week. I checked with the hotel clerk (who spoke English), a person at the tourist office and...
Hi Everyone, Wondering how the visa on entry with a letter of approval from the Vietnam immigration department in Hanoi works. Do you have to use a company or...

The incredibly silly Thai Gment, has woken up to the fact that there is a little bit of a hiccup in the world economy and has relaxed somewhat the visa rules. ...
