"Although most people put a
nametag on the outside of their luggage, you should also put
your name and contact information on a sticker or tag inside
your suitcases. We were reunited with a lost suitcase by
using this tip." |

"For our last 2
family car trips, we rented a minivan instead of taking our
own family car. This way, we avoid extra miles and wear on
our car, we enjoy the extra space, and to the kids the trip
seems more like an adventure. Plus, we've done the cost
accounting on this, and in our case it was cheaper to rent a
car for a long trip (with unlimited mileage in the rental),
than to put excess miles and maintenance into our own car." |

"We didn't know this until
recently, so I thought others would want to know too -- even
if you buy airline tickets from an online seller and you're
not part of the frequent flyer program for the airline, you
can call the airline after you fly the tickets, join the
frequent flyer program, and get miles credits for the
tickets you already bought and flew before you were a
member." |

"We had a very
bad travel experience with an airline, and at first I
thought we'd just ignore it since we did end up reaching our
destination when planned, but I decided to e-mail the
airline and explain to them the details of what happened
with our flight (planes were changed, delayed, lack of help
with connecting flight & more). In response to my e-mail
they ended up sending us travel vouchers worth $300.00! - so
my tip is - let the airline know if your experience was bad
- they may try to make it up to you - and you can e-mail -
you don't even have to call by phone and wait on hold." |

"Colorful plastic 'zip ties'
from the hardware store make great durable identifiers on
your luggage handles -- they're cheap, they don't pull off
the suitcases, and you can just look for the 'orange zip
tie' on your bag to tell it apart from all the look-alikes
on the luggage belt." |
