For anyone traveling out of the country this year, a passport is required for travel.  Whether it’s a trip to Europe, a cruise in the Bahamas,  Mexican vacation, or a weekend in Canada, most travelers know that a passport is now required.  Whether you are applying for a passport for the first time, need to renew your passport, or travel internationally often, here are a few tips for passports:

    * All citizens must have a passport, regardless of age – If you are 1 day old or 100 years old, every citizen is required to have a passport if traveling out of the country.

Avoid the salt and calorie-laden nibbles at the airport, or in-flight.

Remember, the air in planes is dry. So, drink non-alcoholic decaf beverages and water to avoid dehydration. And even healthy people can get blood clots in their legs after long flights.

The key to saving for around the world travel, or any type of travel, is to not do it yourself. It should be AUTOMATIC and done by some type of system.

So the question is – How do I save money on a consistent basis?
