| | International Travel Tips For Courtesans & Escorts | | 2008-01-13 18:29:15 | | The photo shows one of the English Courtesan’s all-time favourite and most memorable travel destinations which she visited with one of her all-time favourite and most memorable people...It’s not a clue, because it’s much too easy for the clever readers, but there’ll be bigger and better clues to follow from the next trip...watch this space... ;-)Anyway, the English Courtesan has been rather remiss of late in keeping up with the 'How to be an escort' series. However over the past few weeks she has had a good few gentle reminders from the kind readers so herewith the English Courtesan’s tips on international travel arrangements for escorts, courtesans and travel companions.Whether this post will apply to you as an escort depends on whether you see clients outside your area. Most escort girls and courtesans do travel, and many travel on an international basis, at least on payment of travel expenses or subject to a minimum booking period. However there is a certain amount of debate over whether you should make the travel arrangements yourself as an escort, courtesan or travel companion, or whether you should let your client (or in some cases their PA) do this for you. If you work with an escort agency, they may well make the arrangements for you, but if you’re an independent escort who makes international trips then the following notes are intended to help you.1) Meet firstWherever possible you should always meet your client before agreeing to go away with them. Whilst this applies more to longer international trips than to weekend breaks in the UK, it’s for your own safety as an escort and it gives you a chance to check both the client’s ID and your potential compatibility. Otherwise as an escort you run the risk of spending two weeks in the sun with a client with whom you don’t actually have much in common, which will be no fun for either of you, however luxurious the location and hotel. The English Courtesan tends to recommend an initial 2 hour bo... | | By: Diary Of An English Courtesan | | |

| | Crohn's Disease Tattoo- And Crohn's Disease Travel Tips | | 2007-12-07 13:58:00 | | Hey guys, go my Humira shot Wednesday night. Nothing much new to report other than I have been waking up with pretty bad cramps. Doc Shafran usually says thats not a great sign. We'll see, makes me nervous as my Crohn's invaraible acts up during the holidays. Got my leg tattoo worked on yesterday. My wife is getting a Crohn's Disease ribbon tattoo (very small) on her foot to show her support for all of us Crohnies.Also, below is a great article on travelling and Crohn's.

You should continue in your life as you would without Crohn’s, although a few more precautions may be necessary. When traveling, this will ensure a smooth and enjoyable trip. The first thing you should do, whether you are traveling abroad or close to home, is locate a doctor in the area you will be visiting. There are several organizations available to utilize in your search or you can simply ask your doctor for referrals.If you are taking prescription medication, you should be sure to take plenty for the duration of your trip. You should also keep it with you when you travel on the plane to avoid it being lost in the heaps of luggage. Always keep your medication in its original container and a typed statement from your doctor regarding what medications you are taking and what they are for.You will also need to get copies of all of your prescriptions, including foreign names, in case you have to refill them abroad. However, you should avoid this by carrying enough medication with you, as filling prescriptions in other counties can sometimes be difficult.

| | Top 10 Travel Tips (circa 1999) | | 2007-06-18 07:00:41 | | I first shared my Top 10 Travel Tips on the World Wide Web in 1999 after having spent the prior Summer in Europe. Some of the advice I had read beforehand (thanks Rough Guides First-Time Europe), and the rest was based on my experience (in some cases having not done what I’m suggesting below).
Nine years later, I still aim to remember these concepts while traveling…
1. Positive Attitude - No matter what happens on your trip, it is your story to tell. Don’t let bad incidents ruin your whole experience. Don’t let others bring you down. You worked hard to get to this point, and you deserve to enjoy it.
2. Patience - You will not make every train, bus, ferry, and airplane. Instead of getting angry, take the time to explore your surroundings, get a cup of European coffee. You will have to wait, but at least you are waiting in some exotic country!
3. Pack Light - Make sure your pack can fit on the plane as carry on luggage. If it is too big, take things out. Neve... | | By: GoBackpacking | | |

Sorry for the delay in getting this article posted...I've been under the weather but am beginning to feel much better. On the day of your flight, you’re likely to be a little anxious about traveling with your pet. If you followed the guidelines from Part 1 of this article series, you’re well prepared and ready to go. Here are the things you’ll want to do the day of your flight: Follow any instructions that were given to you by your pet’s veterinarian.

Watch your pet eat and make sure that they ingested the correct dosage.Catch your pet and carefully place them in their carrier. The sedative generally takes a while to take effect.

| | Pet Travel Tips: Flying with Pets | | 2007-04-26 19:03:00 | | When we moved from the East coast to the West coast a few years ago, we had the difficult situation of transporting our two kitties along with us. After researching our options, we determined that the quickest and most efficient method would be to fly them with us on an airline. Although it was quick (about 7 hours including a layover and driving to and from airports), it definitely wasn’t stress-free. Luckily, everything worked out well and our kitties arrived safely with us in California. Here are some recommendations for flying with pets based on our own experience:Research the policies and restrictions of the various airlines you’re considering. Each airline has its own rules and regulations for traveling with pets. We flew on Southwest Airlines and were fortunate to get to keep the kitties in the cabin with us. We highly recommend this option if you are traveling with a cat or small animal that meets the requirements.
