Travel, especially air travel and getting across borders and U.S. airports can be such an exhausting ordeal. The destination had better be worth it and you'd better be prepared!</p> <p>Author<br /> <a href="http://purplewomenblog.blogspot.com">Link Text</a>Purple Women &amp; Friends Blog<br /> <a href="http://www.PurpleWomen.org" title="www.PurpleWomen.org">www.PurpleWomen.org</a></p> Fri, 06 Apr 2007 21:28:00 -0500 Purple Woman comment 17303 at http://www.blogher.com http://www.blogher.com/node/16660 <p>We've all heard horror stories about trips gone very, very wrong, from lost luggage to crime, from crappy hotels to dangerous situations. I don't believe this is the norm for most travelers but for every "Before Sunrise" film there are six "Open Water" movies. Look away.
