Logistics for an international adventure.

Find a cheap ticket. I found my cheap tickets in the very tiny adds in the travel section of the Sunday paper.
Buy a travel guide for the country that you will be going to. Read it before you leave, paying particular attention to the “visas required” section, and pack it. I recommend Moon travel guides.
Pack- Go light-under 20lbs. Make sure it will fit in the overhead so you don’t have to check anything. Clothes motto: wear one, wash one. (only 2 sets of clothes) There is often a very stingy weight limit for carry on, so it’s good idea to carry a very lightweight day pack to split your load up.
Go. Keep your self open to new adventures. Remember, whatever doesn’t kill you will make for a good story.
