This tidbit is about pre planning, it does not matter if you are going by plane , train, or automobile. Holiday travel will go much smoother if you do a little pre -planning.
- I have made a list and keep it on my computer, (this list available by going to the check list page). You can then have it when you travel. I print it out and then I can check things off as I pack them.
- No matter how you are traveling have a carry-on that includes the items you can not live without for 24 hrs. Medications, passports, picture ID, reading material, glasses regular and sun, gum, munchies, water (if not flying), wet wipes or tissues, games, itineraries, emergency contacts that you may need, hotel and car rental confirmations, a back up plan in case you get stuck somewhere, travel blanket, pillow, headphones, ear plugs, eye mask, extra sweaters or coats that way you do not have to put them in your luggage, if you need them they are handy. If you wear contacts make sure you have a contact case, eye drops and solutions, music an ipod or CD player.
- If travelling with children, things that will help keep them occupied, red-eye flights, and overnight driving, Benadryl will help with any sinus problems and will also put them to sleep. deck of cards, their favorite comfort item, things they can not live without for 24hrs.
- I am sure there are lots of things that should be on here that I have not mentioned. I would love to hear from others what their travel tips are.
By packing what you can ahead of time and making a list this will make the day of departure much more calm.
Have a wonderful and safe trip

TIDBIT for exercising
This tidbit is for any trip where you will be sitting for long period of time.
That can be in planes, trains, or automobiles. You need to keep moving for proper circulation.
- Most important when you’re on a trip where you can not move freely is to do movements that involve your major muscle group.while sitting. Sitting for extended periods is not good for your circulation so get up as often as possible (but not excessively). Here are some simple exercises you can do.Shoulder shrugs – lift your arms and roll them in a wide circular movement both forward and backwards.
- Knee raises – bend your knees to hip height, hold for a few seconds, release and do the same for the other knees.
- Upper back stretch – lock your fingers, stretch them out front bowing your back with palms facing inwards.
- Ankle swirl – move your ankles around in small circles from time to time.
- Drink lots of water, other drinks especially alcoholic contain sugars which will dehydrate you.
By doing these simple exercises and drinking plenty of water or seltzer water you will be helping your body and also helping with jet lag if you are flying.
Hope this tidbit is helpful and if we have other seasoned travelers please post a comment with other helpful tidbits.
Have a wonderful and safe trip!

Entering the Fjords of Norway
One of the best ways to travel from Copenhagen to Oslo is to take the ferry.
- It is one of the most relaxing and scenic trips you can take. If you are traveling during the spring or fall months the timing could not be more perfect. Departing Copenhagen around 4:30 pm, you can experience a wonderful sunset while you are pulling out of port.
- Then enjoy your choice of several restaurants, some after dinner duty free shopping and entertainment before retiring to your private room.
- After a well deserved sleep, you can enjoy a wonderful breakfast buffet as you enter the fjords of Norway at sunrise. Not sure which was better, the food or the view so enjoy them both and bring an appetite and lots of film.
- The ship also has a currency exchange so that you can switch your Danish Krone to Norwegian Krone, which is very helpful.
