I know lots of ppl are full time rv'ers but am not sure exactly what that means..... are you basically moving from campground to campground? parking lot to parking lot? I can't imagine I can afford to be "sight seeing" every minute. I am also looking for tips/points on amenties and must haves. I am a woman traveling alone and have some concerns (I may join a travel club and could use your thoughts on that as well). This is my solution to a recent separation which provides me with the means and the opportunity to travel. Thoughts?? (OH...and y es, I have famiy out of state that I plan to see in the 1-2 years I am planning to stay on the road). I am not expecting this to turn into a permanent thing but who knows??

I will be flying this monday...it will be a 15 hour flight. I would like to check-in a suitcase and have an appropriate carry-on with me, compact enough but roomy enough to have everything in it including wallet, documents, toiletries, change of clothes, waterbottle etc. Also something comfortable and durable. What kind works best...? A back-pack, or a large hand-bag, or something else? Thanks everyone.

I bought a standard saver return to Bristol on friday, to return within a month, but cant go now, Will BR refund my ticket? Also I got it from a smaller station, which may not have its ticket office open over the weekend, so I may not be able to get it cancelled and refunded till tuesday. Will that affect refund? i didnt reserve seats or book any specific train.
Hope someone can help.

I am moving across country and want to make sure I take only the things that will be absolutely necessary. I live in my own place here and will be donating most of my large bulky items to friends.
Question: What should I get rid of? What should I take? Has anyone done a move like this? I don't want to leave or throw out everything because I will just have to spend money to replace it once I get over there. I am stocking my car up with boxes of smaller items.

Should I just take the bare necessities and leave everything else?

I am moving into a apartment which will be half furnished.

Here is an example of some room options...
Some specifically say no-smoking, but the others don't say anything...does that mean that it is a smoking room??

Had a recent bad experience on a package we booked thru an agency, aspects that included each area they booked, transportation, hotel, and air. For example the room did not have an ocean view, the fridge never worked, maids who cleaned out our room before we checked out, (belongings we never did then get back) the local rep told us she changed our flight, when she did not, and then the airline moved us to an overnight layover, which we were then responsible to pay for a room. uuugh, and this is just a start.

Any tips on what works. I suspect they will keep shifting the blame.

eg 300gsm. Is that warm enough for camping out now? I suppose it's a bit like togs, but not sure which is warmest.

what's the weather like on Paris on november? what season is it there during those months?

we were wondering if anybody can help us with what to pack...

'coz the last time we went to China and googled the weather and they told us it was spring so we were thinking flowers and lots of sun but damn was it cold!! thank goodness we had enough sense to bring along some jackets just in case...

so what's Paris and neighboring places like on November? we haven't gotten the complete list of places we'd be going but we would like to be prepared..

thanks alot!!

I am going on holiday to Hong Kong this November, but my UK passport expires next April. Does anybody know if your passport needs to be valid for more than a year after your date of visit or will it be ok to use my current one?
