[21 + / 1 -] Use Google Earth to scout out the surroundings of a hotel before you book. You never know from the promotional material what might be next door.

[19 + / 3 -] Take your young child's shoes off when you board a plane and not only will they be more comfortable, they won't kick the seat in front of them.

[14 + / 0 -] Don't use lifts or other tricks to make your kids look taller than they are when visiting an amusement park. Height and safety restrictions are there for a reason.

[14 + / 1 -] Don't want to buy bottled water at the airport gate? Bring an empty water bottle in your carry-on and fill it once you've passed security.

[19 + / 11 -] You won't get sick to your stomach on a roller coaster if you keep your eyes open and focused on the track into front of you. Pretend you are 'driving' the coaster.

[3 + / 0 -] Time spent in your car can be put to great use with audiobooks. Like children's tapes years ago, digital books for adults (e.g. audible.com) are now widely available. Play your iPod or MP3 through the car's speakers for better sound.

[3 + / 0 -] When visiting a theme park, buy your tickets in advance on the park's website, then get to the park before it opens, so you can get on the most popular rides before lines form.

[2 + / 0 -] When traveling with lots of luggage, put a ribbon on the handle or get strange colored luggage so that you can pick it out at baggage claim and than nobody else will take your luggage

[6 + / 5 -] If there are 2 lines to an attraction or ride, always take the left line, it is almost always faster.

[0 + / 0 -] When traveling to any country, come with an open mind, and avoid making yourself look like a tourist.
