That the guy I broke up with to date my now current husband was going to become a very successful real estate developer worth 56 million dollars. Oh, you mean about travel? Never mind then.

That even though the overnight planes land in Europe in the early morning, most hotels won't let you chck in until 2:00 Don't try to do major sightseeing your first day; use that day to get acclimated That in May London weather can actually be worse than in February That some places will not accept your college ID as proof of student status; sometimes you need the International Student ID Card to get discounts That the Spaniards partied SO hard...they wore me out!!

1. Get the cellphone. My 10-year old son and I got lost at night going back to a B&B in Ireland because he needed his inhaler; my husband and and others stayed at the restaraunt for dessert. THEN we had car trouble. Late at night, lost, no inhaler, no flashlight. I was mighty happy to have my cellphone to get help -- we didn't see another car for a long time. 2. Carry a travel flashlight at all times (especially if driving at night). (See above) 3. Carry the inhaler. (See above) 4. At least two alternate ways to pay (as others already mentioned).

In Germany there are stickers in phone booths to use your VISA/MC, etc, to phone the USA at "reasonable rates." Just dial the toll-free number and provide your credit card info. They are $8-$10 per minute. Buyer beware.
