Packing & Preparation

In the U.S., is it considered bad etiquette to place your carry-on bag somewhere other than the compartment that's directly above your seat on an airplane? Please let me know. I kinda feel guilty when I do it but I'm not from the US.

My wife and I applied for passports on March 3rd, and we leave on May 20th. Thats 12 weeks. The post office rep saidf there was no need to expedite, "that's plenty of time". The status online is 'processing' and has been since the first week in April. Today is May 12th, and nothing. We have been trying to call for an appointment, but there are none available from now until our departure date. is there anything else i can do? the phone number they give is garbage, and the website is close to useless.

I have heard about huge fees for too-heavy luggage on ryanair. I am wondering if I can take things out of the luggage and throw them away in order to meet the weight limit. Or, once they have weighed the luggage, am I stuck paying for it no matter what?

My Mom and I are going to London, Paris, and Italy and we really need to pack light. So what would you experienced travelers suggest we bring for a couple days in London in May, and June and July in Paris and Italy?

My Mom tends to be cold, so I am thinking she will need to bring at least one sweater. And should we expect some rain?

Thank you, ahead of time!

I'm traveling to a new job soon and I'll live abroad for a year or two. I'd like to take extra luggage (and pay extra bag fees) so I have most of what I need with me. Has anyone traveled with a lot of bags lately? Are there carts readily available in airports (and while you move through customs) so a single person can transport several (4) bags? Any tips from recent travelers welcome.

I am a born US citizen and my husband is a resident alien. His father is in Mexico and is really sick and we need to go be with him now. Do we have to have passports to enter and leave Mexico or can we use other documentation?

I am going to Mexico This summer (End of June, or very beginning of July.) and I don't have a passport. I already have the applications ready, but They only do passports Mon.-Fri.
How long does it take for me to get my passport. I heard It takes 3 months!!! Is that true???

I will be travelling 15 hours by plane with my 17 month old who unfortunately suffers from severe food allergies to milk, eggs and peanuts. Due to this we have to bring our own food for him. What meals do you suggest to bring that is safe not to be refrigerated? Thanks.

We're going to Canada on the 29th May for just over a week. We'll probably take about £1,200. Do most places still take Traveller's cheques or are we best just sticking to cash? I'm worried about taking that much cash with us

I'm going to be moving this summer and want some tips for renting a truck. I know I should rent as early in advance as possible, but what days are the least expensive to rent? I only need one day and don't have that much stuff(2-br apartment), so how many hours should I reserve it for? Also is there any other way to save some money with this? Or is there a cheaper company that can move my stuff across town for me?

I'm shipping stuff back home to MI from my dorm in NYC, and I just gonked a box from Starbuck's. I covered up everything where the shipping information is, and I markered out all the barcodes, but there are still a bunch of logos on the box from Solo and things about cups. Does that need to be covered? I'm probably shipping USPS. Thanks!

I'm moving from Southern California to Chicago. I live in a two-bedroom apartment, minimally furnished. Biggest things are a bed, dresser, bookcase and computer desk. I also plan on taking my car (hauling it with the U-haul if I drive, or shipping it) I'm not sure if I should rent a U-haul and drive my junk over to Chicago, or ship it. Any suggestions?

hello i went to Canada last year and alls i needed was my birth certificate and ID, but someone told me at work that now you need a passport as well. i have done research on this and have found that most of the sites say this law won't go into affect till 2008 most of those sites where somewhat old so i wanted to make sure nothings changed since then and to see if someone knows for sure.
