Just a scratch pad for misc things to remember...
1. Always travel with a fan during the summer in case of hotels with no A/C. Consequence: Hot, sweaty misery.
2. Pick up lots of small things at souvenir shops when traveling throughout the year and them combine them for small gifts to friends back home. Consequence: Last minute gifts from wherever you happen to be vs travel stories behind even the smallest of things to make them sound like super cool gifts.
3. Don't tell someone in Finland that their language sounds like Russian. Consequence: A very agitated Taxi driver.
4. Don't feed the pigeons in Venice, it is illegal.
