I'm looking to fly from Lima to Cusco round trip in about a month-Jan 3 to Jan 8. Given the amount of flights, it seems crazy that it would cost $300 (on kayak.com), but that's all I could find. [more inside]

I'm going to Amsterdam and Rotterdam for a couple of days on business. Should I bring cash and exchange for Euros, or should I use my Visa debit card for stuff. I went to France in 2001 and my card worked on French ATMs; will it work in Holland?

From Washington DC to West Africa. I’m willing to be a courier, to work on a ship, to trade work, to be deputized as an air marshal, to provide technical support on a trans-Atlantic balloon ride, to go as part of a program that requires me to work for them when I get there. I just need to get to Senegal. And cheap. [more inside]

I travel regularly for work -- at least one week out a month during down time and three weeks out during peak time. But, my schedule is usually domestic, and always gets me home after 5 - 6 days, 10 at most... till now. I'm departing Wednesday on a four-week trip: first leg = two-day stops in all four US time zones, second leg = two weeks in one European city, with zero time home. I'm feeling anxious about my preparation. [more inside]

This travel advisory from the State Department website, dated 1998, states that the use of GPS units is highly regulated in Russia and that it is risky to bring one unless it is fully documented. Now, GPS units are a lot more common today than they were in 1998. Do I really have to worry about this? I am planning a multi-country trip and I could mail myself the GPS ahead of time to my post-Russia destination if I had to. I am an amateur photographer and I use the unit to tag the location of photos I have taken.
