DON'T BE THE CRAZY FRANTIC PERSON!

When traveling Internationally, we have to do things a little different. With every trip we double check our time, time change, location of departure and arrival. It has happened more than once that the ferry station, airport, bus terminal that we arrived in, is not the same one you are leaving from.  Tickets in foreign countries are often printed differently, it can be in military time, and possibly the day and month are listed in different order (example Oct 9 can be listed 10/09 or 09/10. There is nothing worse than getting to your departure spot on time and find out that you have something wrong with your itinerary. We have made three mistakes so far, and now we triple check ourselves. 

Our biggest lesson has been to give ourselves alot of extra time. When you leave yourself extra time, you have time to correct mistakes. When you have extra time you don't make as many silly mistakes. When you have extra time you can relax and sit back and watch everyone else run around frantic. Always give yourself more extra time then you think you will ever need. Bud
