Practical Travel Tips

About.com's travel guides spend a lot of time traveling and along the way they've picked up many useful secrets for smooth traveling. Our guide to the UK, Ferne Arfin, has put together a practical list of travel tips from the travel guides in our latest blog carnival - Practical Pointers from the Travel Pros. You'll find tips about avoiding pickpockets and petty theft, travel planning, and even how to use a squat toilet (yes, you may still find one in Italy).
