Foreign Transaction Fees and Exchanging Currency
2012-02-22 22:41:00 On my very first trip to Europe (from the US) I was told to just take my credit card and use it as my currency - and use local ATM's if I wanted cash out. I was told I would get the best rate. True. But no one told me I was also going to get slapped with a 3% charge on very transaction! (once called a currency conversion fee). If you're planning a foreign trip, double-check with your credit card issuers to find out how much using your credit and debit cards will cost you: Many have increased their foreign transaction fees, though some, in a move to attract rewards-hungry consumers, have recently decided to buck the trend and drop the fees.- as of 2012.Depending on what city you plan to visit, sometimes, a currency exchange booth is the best bet. On my last trip to Prague in 2011, I was able to exchange American currency for an excellent rate with almost no fee at all. But, you have to ask around.

LGBTQ2 Transgender Travel Information and Tips
2010-10-22 21:21:00 It was brought to my attention the other day that we never address the transgender community here on this Gay Travel site. So we wanted to include some resources and tips - Transgender people have as much right to travel as anyone else and we have a right to express any gender we want, any way we want while traveling (with the exception of some head and face coverings). However, recent heightened airport security has meant increased scrutiny, harassment, and discrimination against trans people who fly. NCTE hopes this document will help make your air travel experience smoother. This document for transgendered travel is little dated, but provides some useful guidelines.

Being Smart With Your Phone Traveling Overseas
2010-10-14 15:26:00 Last year we did an article about traveling with our iPhone . Common sense told me that international roaming rates would be outrageous - so I barely made any calls. Only 2. To my mother and my mother in law! Roughly $2.30 per minute. A 15 minute call was $35! Ouch! I should have sent postcards! I guess I am naive...or stupid...I really didn't think about roaming charges being applied to texts and that data usage could be an issue. The iPhone, with all it's delicious apps and bells and whistles - SUCKS DATA. Most domestic plans here in the US have unlimited data, so few users, like me, bother to track the amount I send and receive. Shame on me. When you travel to overseas, AT & T offers a pricey a la carte menu which is almost impossible for the simple mind like mine, to decipher.
