Travelling

Protect your belongings while traveling anywhere. Travelers are the number one for criminals. Criminals are always on the lookout for innocent people. Travelers are always in such a hurry and distracted you can recognize a traveler as soon as you see one. Criminals can easily find them because they tend to let themselves be notice by the public. Travelers tend to make extra big purchases, spend they like to spend big amount of money, use a lot of expensive jewelry and always carry their credit cards around.

One of the main advice that I can offer any traveler is to be aware of their sorroundings. The best way to protect yourself is not to let others know that you are carrying valuable things with you. Even when you go out to a different state and is not out of the country stay within your normal ways don’t change.

Don’t carry large amount of money with you just take the normal. Don’t wear extra gold jewelry that can help attract criminals to you. The best recommendation that I can offer is try not to look like a tourist very important.

Tourists love to provide information to the wrong people. When you find someone that look strange don’t walk up to them and offer them information about where you are staying at or where you going.

A long time ago I went to this well known hotel and read an article about safety procedures. Don’t just assume just because you are staying at a well known hotel that your belongings are safe. Is sad to say, but when you stay at a hotel room a lot of people have access to it. They have maids, supervisors and other type of room services checking out your room. If something goes missing is hard to tell who stole your stuff.

The best thing is when you stay at one of this places is to get yourself a big suite case with a lock combination on it, no one will walk out with the suite case that size or sit in your room to try to figure out the combination.

The last advice that I can offer you is always to remember to protect yourself. Take the right steps to protect your valuables remember that everything you own is valuable to you, and it took you a lot of work and sacrifice to obtain it. Don’t sit around and write account numbers or live your credit card on any table. Always make sure before going anywhere to lock your room and ask the manager not to let anyone come in while you out that way he can be hold responsible is something goes missing.

All the major airlines offer programs for their customers to earn reward travel. The programs are an effective way to foster repeat customers. However, not all reward programs are created equal. An overview of the factors that determine how well a program works will let you determine which is best for you.

1. Location - This is the single biggest factor determining if a reward program offered by an airline is right for you. By location, what is meant is whether the carrier even offers flights in your home airport. There may not be any need of trying to accumulate Delta Skymiles if Delta doesn’t service your home airport. Perhaps the carriers in your home airport don’t offer you the best programs but 60% of what you want is better than 100% of something you can’t use.
2. Flexibility in booking - Reward travel that requires you to book reward one-way travel is the most flexible. Southwest Rapid Rewards allows you to book travel for one-way travel. Delta Skymiles will likely charge you more miles for a one-way ticket than for a round-trip ticket because their reward travel is based on round-trip rewards.
3. Flexibility in Changes or Cancellation - No matter who often or little you travel you will eventually encounter the need of changing your travel dates or cancelling them altogether. Many of the major carriers will assess you a charge for the price difference between travel dates which is fair. Some carriers may charge a fee of $50 for cancellation. It should be noted that thus far it appears that Delta Airlines has the highest charges in this category. Check with each airline for their specific change/cancellation fees.
4. Black Out Dates. Some carriers can make it difficult to redeem miles during holiday travel by outright disallowing reward redemption or limiting it. Check each airline’s website for information on how they handle blackout dates.
5. Accumulation of Miles - How fast you can earn miles isn’t limited to how often you fly. Airlines offer credit cards or partner programs where miles can earned. Check the offers available on their airline’s website.
6. Redemption – The number of miles it takes to earn reward travel vs. how long it will take you to earn the miles will give you a measure of the benefits of the program.
7. Personal Preference – The airline you enjoy traveling most matters just as much as the quality of their reward travel. There’s little benefit of traveling on an airline you dislike just because you can earn more reward travel.

Some programs have definite advantages or disadvantages but that alone should not be the determining factor in which program suits you best.
