Hello, and I am glad to be among fellow travelers. I have lived, worked or traveled in every US state, visited four continents and been around the world. I own Seminars@Sea and we not put on seminars on cruise ships. I seem to have the best of all worlds. I love to travel, teach, and visit with people in a relaxing atmosphere.

Make your travel a real learning experience with Panama Global Connections. Our Medical Spanish course in Panama has confirmed dates for January. It's not too early to sign up.
See spectacular scenery and take home a new or expanded skill at the same time.
Let me know if your group is looking for something different. We can help you arrange it.

Travlin Tip #2
• Never carry large amounts of cash. Use traveler's checks or credit/debit cards.
• If you have to carry cash don't display it openly.
• Keep a record of traveler's check and credit card numbers in a safe place in case they are lost or stolen.
• Have telephone numbers to call in case your credit card or checks are lost or stolen.
• Never advertise your vacation plans, travel routes or the amount of money you're carrying to strangers.
• Have your vehicle checked out by a mechanic before making a road trip.
• If your car breaks down, raise the hood and attach a white cloth to the car antenna.
• Carry a cell phone, water, food and a first aid kit.
• If you must leave your car keep all passengers together.

Hi everybody,
I just got back from Florida, Nassau, Paradise Island etc. It was wonderful!!! As usual, I learned a few things. Hope you find these tips helpful.
* Wear slip on shows or sneakers (like Sketchers) - It makes it easy to slip in and out of your shows when going through security at the airport.
* If you like to venture out on your own and have a portable GPS, bring it!! Having it handy makes it easy and efficient to find resturaunts, movie theaters, medical facilities, department stores, gas stations etc. etc. I hate wasting my precious vacation time searching for things & I'm not to swift with maps, so the GPS really helped.
* To avoid overweight baggage charges at the airport - Once you have your things packed, place your bag on your bathroom scale. If it's over 50 lbs, remove items and put in your carry on or in your travel partners bag (if it's less than 50 lbs of course).
* Keep antibacterial gels handy and use them often. Ladies, Bath & Body Works carries little bottles in popular fragrances for $5 or less.

Stay tuned for more...I'll try to add some pictures and other information soon!!!
