First Rules for Travellers
Money: Take one fourth more than your estimated expenses, and a good supply of small change.
Geography: Acquaint yourself with the geography of the route and region of travel.
Luggage: Arrange, if possible, to have only one piece of luggage to look after.
Dress: Better be too hot for two or three hours at noon than be cold for the rest of the twenty-four.
Time: Be at the place of starting fifteen minutes before time, thus allowing for unexpected detention by the way.
Breakfast: Do not begin a day's travel before breakfast, even if it has to be eaten at daybreak. Dinner or supper can be more easily ignored than
a good breakfast.
Manners: Respect yourself by demonstrating the manners of a gentleman or lady, and then you will receive the respect of others.
Language: A good knowledge of the language of the country you are to visit is an immense help and will make the journey more agreeable.
Climate:The traveller's comfort depends on his dress being suitable to the climate he is in.
Packing:The principal point to remember in packing is to leave the things you are most likely to require, during the journey or on arrival until last. If you carry a handbag, small portmanteau or hold-all, they should be put in these.
Trains: This new mode of transport should not be feared. It is safer to
ride on the railroad than to walk through the streets.
Make-up: It is not a correct thing to do to make up while travelling. Many girls prefer not to show to openly how much the rosy of their cheeks owes to art instead of nature.
Lost: If you are lost, use your watch.
Journal: Many experienced voyagers keep a journal while they are travelling.
