Learned the hard way? Post you travel tips here.

Example:

When boarding your kayak for a fun paddle in the ocean, when an old fisherman comes running down the beach yelling something in Brazillian Portugese about "wind" and "ocean".........listen.

tip: when driving through the Eisenhower Memorial Tunnel in Colorado, do not obey any sudden urges to document this leg of your trip with a quick photo. if you happen to obey the urge, do not use your camera's flash.

if you do happen to use the flash, be prepared for the reflected light to blaze off of every wall and ceiling tile down the length of the tunnel with an unreal fury akin to a nuclear blast. then expect to hit your brakes hard as every car in front of you screeches to a panicked halt.

just a tip.

When crossing the border to enter Canada from NY, don't answer the guard with a flip remark like, Guard: "Where in Canada are you going?" Me: "Oh, I don't know - where ever I run out of gas!" Not a good answer.

If confronted by a foreign speaking machine gun toting soldier, the best practice is absolute and total ignorance, as he will get fed up trying to communicate sooner than you and let you on your merry way.

True.

Do not pack anything in your luggage that may buzz.

Geez! Get your mind out of the gutter! I meant something like a battery powered toothbrush.

Always carry a bomb on an airliner. The chances of there being a bomb on an airliner are pretty remote but the chances of there being two bombs on an airliner are extraordinarily remote. So, you're much more likely to be safe from bombs if you carry one onto an airliner with you.
