The Five Ps: "P #1"

"Prior Preparation Prevents Poor Performance" is one of the mantras of nursing.  We cannot escape this nor do we want to.  This is a good way to order your life!  Due to my newest National Geographic article being more than 60 pages long, I will offer you intermittent, random "Travel Helps" I have learned through experience in the U.S.A. and abroad.

"P" Help #1: Before you leave, learn about the new place.  The farther you go and the longer you'll be gone, the more you'll need to know.  There are many guidebooks you can buy at bookstores or borrow from the local library.  You may even find a video at the library.  Finding out even a small amount of history helps enhance your experience.  Find the destination on the internet.  Talk to friends who have been there: this is the best source!

Many cities have more than one airport (London, England, has 4!).  You need to know which one will be yours!
