Métro: Important Tip on Riding the Metro
  • Tip Rating:
  • 'Mode': AROUND
    Category: Subway/Metro
    Getting TO/AROUND: Before our trip - I visited VT for suggestions and advice on what to expect. I did read that it could smell pretty bad when riding the Metro due to peoples personal hygenes and such. Most of our experience in riding the Metro was good. Just make sure you board towards the back of it. Everyone likes to jump on at the front and they crowd in like sardines in a can and we had one really bad experience that would have reminded you of the smell of rotten eggs.

    Flying: Long Flight to Paris
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • 'Mode': TO
    Category: Airplane
    Getting TO/AROUND: Some things to consider on a long flight, take a sweater in case it gets cold and don't dress to warm in case it gets hot. I take my shoes off and put on booties (socks). Your feet will swell up. Periodic massaging of the feet might help keep the swelling down. Most planes provide a pillow and blanket. I would double up the blanket and use it for extra cushion on the seat. I always pack some extra snacks for the trip such as beef jerky, nuts and chocolate chip cookies in my carry on. Remember not to bring the open food packages back - especially the beef jerky. Customs has a real problem with that. Anyway, just some suggestions for the long flight.
