Thread: Travel poll

I am glad to see alot of people posting on this poll, and glad to see most think of themselves Expert/Moderate travellers. And someone mentioned "EXPERIENCED" traveller is probably a more modest term. So what makes an experienced traveller? Someone that has flown many times, perhaps many years. I think the air time I've travelled crossing the PACIFIC OCEAN alone back and forth, I think I calculated 15 times or so. That's alot of hours on a plane for a long time. By that time, you would suspect I'd know the little knicks needed to survive these long flights. Getting ready MENTALLY alone is half the battle. If you can prepare yourself mentally for your travel escapades, to face long flights, deal with security, waits in the airport, possibilities of getting bumped ect...I assume it will make your travel easier and build your experience level as an expert/experienced traveller.
You will know by heart...."I need a place to stay. I need public transportation, I need to tap the locals for information, i need to stop at a store to pick up water and soda's, snacks or beer. It will save me more than drinking from the hotel mini-bar in your room". Just to name a few.

I put expert. I love planning it and finding the best deals. My philosophy here for the site is that the quality of the deal you find will be proportional to the amount of time you have to search. You may find the best hotel deal in our Reservations area, with an interline agency, with an interline discount service, or another internet site like priceline.[/b]
