1 Never go anywhere that doesn't have a McDonald's or a KFC.

2 You don't need to know any French in Paris, they all speak English these days.

3 Travel insurance is a rip-off you don't need. Just get your ticket and hit the road.

4 Essential items for the traveller include wicks soaked in ghee, Ovaltine, purgatives, a small gunny bag for coal, a tongue cleaner, Ganges water, candles, a small hand axe, a portable spring balance and an iron pointed
stick to walk on the slipping path or ice.

5 Whatever you do, don't touch the street food.

6 Wrap everything in tissue paper. Lay the item face down and place tissue paper on top. Fold it up with the tissue paper inside.

7 Europe is so compact, you can see everything in two weeks.

8 Wait until the last minute to buy your flight tickets and you can score a standby ticket at a special price.

9 As a visitor to the US your current, valid Australian driver's licence will be accepted in all 50 states for up to six months of holiday travel.

10 Dress well and you might get an upgrade at the check-in desk.
