Travel wisdom

black things in black bags are hard to find


dry soap rubbed on the inside of clothes can prolong the wearing by a day


be early and wait as trains and planes and ferries won't


buy it when you can, buy it when you see it; the next country has new rules


don't even try to understand the first sentence of a northern Irishman


if you come home with half as much and twice as much you have done well
(half what you left with as you have lost it on the way, and twice as much as you have bought presents for people)


HAVE THE RIGHT MONEY FOR EASTERN BLOCK COUNTRY TOILETS


hats are great for when you have not been able to wash your hair


buy the plug adaptors before you leave


ear planes are fantastic


bags within bags are a great idea


take your toilet paper in with you (at the check-in counter of the eastern block countries - they have a roll for you to take a sheet or two before you go in)

    Hi Kerrie,

    Thanks so much for your diligence and commitment to blogging your trip. Your information is invaluable and will ease the pain of many a future traveller, no doubt. Travel would be so much easier if we didn't have to wash clothes. I have fond(?) memories of 5 weeks driving in the UK with 3 children aged 2,2 and 3. I hope you are enjoying being home just as much.
