I just came back from a trip and had checked the hotel's amenities online
before I left...All had hair dryers and ironing boards..only one was minus
the iron..but I had that with me--but wish I hadn't dragged it along !
When packing our things from the ship we were on later I found the iron
in dh's closet...Wish I hadn't mentioned that I found it as even tho it was
travel size I kept
thinking of it an anchor to lug home on the plane because all our other
luggage
had been put out for pick up the night before. Also found out that the
ship I was on
had a sm. laundry center w/ iron and bd. ( for some odd reason I couldn't
find that info before
we left ) also had hair dryer..actually 2 ..
one on the wall and one in the drawer !
Another neat thing about a cruise is that I found pics of
our stateroom online..exactly what stateroom I'd be in and a pic of it..
and if there was a window exactly what your "vista' would be...stairs, nice
view, etc.

It seems I am going to have the opportunity to do some traveling- I've never
been outside the USA except for a short way across the border into Mexico.
And I've only flown about 5 times and never even had to catch a connecting
flight. I've never ridden in a taxi or public transportation. I need to
know what to do??? How do I find a curling iron that will work no matter
where I go? Can I take an aerosol can of hairspray? How do people pack
what they need without going over the weight limits? Is cotton clothing the
best or too wrinkly? How do you pack clothing so it doesn't look like you
slept in it???

Help!

It makes a difference whether you're going to Sweden or Nigeria.

Got somewhere specific in mind?

Nope. Not yet. But I can choose the place. I do know it won't be terribly
far from the USA and it will be English speaking- for the first trip, at
least.

Which suggests Canada, most of the Caribbean, Belize or Guyana. Or
the British Isles if that isn't too far.

But there are a lot of European countries where you'll nearly always
have somebody around who speaks English pretty well - the Netherlands,
Scandinavia, Malta, Croatia (same goes for urban Argentina, I think,
though I haven't been there). And English is spoken in the touristy
parts of most countries, so if you want to do the mainstream tourist
things at first, there won't be a language problem.
