Susan's TIPStress Free HolidayWhen going on holidays especially with a family, order all your groceries, drinks etc with coles or woolworths on line before you leave. They are then delivered directly to your room on arrival. This takes the stress out of finding a supermarket or bottleshop when you arrive in an unfamiliar location and even better if you don't have a car to get around. Also saves you a fortune if you don't have to eat out for every meal! Makes for a great holiday...

David's TIPVelcro It For Extra Personal SecurityA extra personal security hint against pickpockets when travelling overseas is to stitch small velcro tabs to pocket openings. It makes it difficult for a potential thief to easily reach in to the pocket without the wearer feeling and hearing the velcro "tear".

Alma's TIPSecret Money Belt For When Extra Cash Is Needed And No One Would KnowTake a leather belt you wear to an upholstery shop and have them sew on the inside a flat peice of leather/vynil that overlaps and join the pieces with a long zip. Fold your money longways, overlapping and you would be surprised to see how much can be stored in the zip hole and no one would ever know. Great security.

Sophie's TIPTo Women - Minimalism Without CompromiseAs a seasoned traveler I've learned how important a choice of a colour theme can be to decreasing luggage weight which seems to weigh more each day of your travels when not curtailed. For example; blacks, grays, whites with some red accessories works well. This narrows down shoes needed, etc.

Cheryl's TIPPre-book Tickets Where Possible! Save Time And Anxiety!When travelling try wherever possible to pre-book tickets for attractions in advance. You can really save time in queues! We discovered this on our recent trip to Europe - the queues in Barcelona for the Sagrada Familia were shocking. So before we went to Doges Palace (Venice) we booked online and just had to present our confirmation number at the pre-purchased ticket queue!
