I always have been like for as long as I remember.<br \/>\nI added a <a title=\"Trip preparation guide\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.30wonders.com\/blog\/trip-preparation-guide\/\">page<\/a> to the site with a list of everything one should do before leaving on an extended trip or round-the-world trip. I believe it can also serve to prepare any kind of trip in a foreign country. You can also access that page from the main menu &#8220;Trip preparation&#8221; link.<\/p>\n<p>It is just a list of subjects right now but I will write articles for each of the points as the time goes. I think we can all use better preparation, me included, and writting these entries seems worthwhile for many reasons.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>It will help me focus and make sure everything is covered.<\/li>\n<li>The best way to learn something is to teach it, so I will learn and teach at the same time. And if I say\/do something stupid or I forget something, then one of you (yes, you my 3 readers) might see it and tell me.<\/li>\n<li>Also, it will be useful for the other times I plan a trip since I will not have to go around to find the information since it is already here.<\/li>\n<li>And who knows, even better, maybe you will find it useful!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The list of subjects will change too since I might have forgotten something. If you see anything you think I should include in that list, please let me know :).<\/p>\n<p><em><font face=\"georgia, bookman old style, palatino linotype, book antiqua, palatino, trebuchet ms, helvetica, garamond, sans-serif, arial, verdana, avante garde, century gothic, comic sans ms, times, times new roman, serif\"> The traveler sees what he sees.
