Never leave home without your American Express card.

Why American Express?
My world-travelling brother has a story of a friend who lost his credit cards while in Argentina this summer. The ONLY credit card company to fix the issue within hours was American Express. The two other cards, from noted banks, proved useless: one offered to mail a new card to his home (he was in Argentina -- what good would that do?), and the other took a few weeks to get a new card to him. We now travel with two cards, one of which is American Express.

° Last Minute Cruises and Short Cruises Princess Cruises.

Several cruise lines have short 2-3 days cruises that enable you to gauge time aboard ship to see if it appeals to you for longer cruises. These ships have game rooms (bridge, backgammon, etc.), classes, movies, gyms, casinos, view balconies, spas (massage and aromatherapy), and many dining options. It's a great way to determine if a one-to-two week cruise is for you. Tip: Always get an outside room, and if your budget will allow, always get a balcony room. Note: As of our last cruise (October 2007), there was no "smoking" or "non-smoking" section on our ship and we heard one couple complain that smoke was coming up from the balcony room beneath their suite.

° We have stayed in Accor Hotels in Australia (Mercure and Novotel), Thailand and London.
They are not the least-expensive, their rates are reasonable for the quality of the accommodations and location. Those we stayed in were in excellent locations, close to everything (or with their own transportation to everything), clean, quiet, etc.
