12 Ways to Save Money on an International Trip

Gambar
Want to have a great foreign trip , but don’t want to spend a fortune? Here are my best tips for surviving jet lag , staying hydrated and saving time and money. Take a red eye.

So I perceived myself, at any rate, when the plane from a foreign country dropped me in San Diego one night seven months ago. Behind me stretched an aimless, six-year, expatriate trail through the South Seas, Asia, and Latin America that began when divorce and its inevitable byproducts-seco...
