Sometimes when you travel, you may find some strange laws… at least they may seem strange to you, but they are perfectly logical in the country you are traveling to.

And while you may think they’re a little funny, if you break some of them, you won’t be laughing. You really want to know what these are ahead of time if you can.

While some minor infractions may be overlooked, in some countries, things you don’t even think about may result in costly fines… or even get you in serious trouble… might even land you in jail!

Much of the time, we’re talking about common sense things here, but you might run into some strange laws that you just never thought about… and not knowing won’t help you in some cases!

Go to government websites to check before you go on your trip. Look under “Local Laws and Customs” on the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office website. On the Australian and U.S. government sites, check under “Travel Advisories”.

At one time even HAVING chewing gum was illegal in Singapore…. Now tourists can have it, but don’t chew it and spit it out on the sidewalk…. They ARE watching, and it could result in a big fine. They’re serious about keeping things clean and orderly…. Clean, as in… leaving a public toilet un-flushed could cost you a fine. And orderly, as in …don’t try jay walking either.

Jaywalking is a tricky one anywhere…. If we don’t know the customs in a country, we cross at a crosswalk and wait for the light (even with no traffic). It only costs you a few steps and a few seconds…. so much better than big trouble.

When you fly into Dubai, you may purchase duty-free liquor to take into the country, but be careful where you drink it and where you travel. You can take it to your hotel room, or to friends if they have a liquor license, but don’t even think about drinking it on the beach.

Drug laws are very strict in the Emirates too…. you even need to be careful of medications. Some prescription drugs and even some over-the-counter drugs are considered narcotics. Carry your doctor’s prescription and leave the drugs in their original container… especially if they contain codeine.

In most Muslim countries, men and women shouldn’t hold hands when they walk around in public. And whatever you do… leave the magazines with sexy pictures at home.

In Thailand, criticizing the King is illegal…. and for heavens sake, don’t drop any money and inadvertently step on it…. It has a likeness of the King! It’s also illegal to drive shirtless, so guys, while this may seem like a strange law, if you rent a scooter at the beach, keep your shirt on.

We all know you are not supposed to leave your baggage unattended in the airport…. but in the UK it is illegal.

Don’t hang out with shady characters in Morocco… if you are with someone who possesses narcotics, even if you’re unaware of it, you can be tried for possession.

In Mexico it is illegal to shout offensive words in any public place.

In many countries, it is illegal to take pictures of police officers, military officers, and military installations. Always ask or check on that one.

In Australia, you can get a ticket for leaving your keys in an unattended car… OK… that strange law falls in the why-would-you category, but in Germany, it is illegal to run out of gas on the autobahn. Not only that… it’s illegal to walk along the autobahn…. so be sure your tank is filled up!

Reading up on strange laws before you travel might not just give you a giggle… it could save you money… or keep you out of jail!

Travelling with kids can be a very stressful experience, but it doesn’t have to be. With these simple tips, your family trip can be a fun and enjoyable experience for the entire family, creating wonderful memories for life!

Allow Plenty of Time: With kids in tow, it will take longer to get through airports, get checked in, bathroom stops, etc., so make sure to plan for it.

Travel During Off-Peak Days and Times: If possible, try to travel during the slower times, when the airports are less crowded and planes are not completely full. These are typically Monday-Thursday mornings and not over major  holidays such as Thanksgiving, Christmas or spring break.

Use the Bathroom: Make sure to have little ones use the bathroom before boarding the plane. Sometimes it can be a while before you are allowed to get out of your seat in a plane or before the next rest area, so try to plan in advance.

Something to Chew On: Bring something for kids to chew on or drink during take-off and landing to help avoid their little ears from popping. Bring gum or hard  candies for older kids, chewy candies or juice boxes for younger kids, and either breastfeed or give a bottle to babies during take-off and landing.

Keep Kids on a Schedule: Everyone knows that kids are happiest when kept on a regular schedule. This also goes for vacations, the better you do with keeping the regular meal times and bedtimes, chances are the happier your kids will be too!

Comfy Clothes: Whether you will be travelling by car or plane, it is always wise to wear layers of comfy clothes. Layers are helpful in case of temperature changes in the plane. Also make sure to bring a change of clothes for children and at least a spare top for adults, because you just never know what might be spilled on you when traveling with kids!

Burn Off Steam: It can be tough for anyone to remain seated for hours at a time in a confined space, especially for kids! Make sure to give your children opportunities to run around, whether it’s at airports, rest stops, or even walking up and down the aisle on the airplane.

Keep Them Busy: Since the attention span of most young children is about 20-30 minutes, make sure to bring a variety of things for kids to do on a plane, or in a car, such as: books, coloring books and crayons, music CD’s and player, portable DVD player. Sometimes packing a few new “travel toys” can be a fun idea, too!

Bring Healthy Snacks: It is important not to load kids up on sugar during long trips, as it just makes it harder for them to remain seated. Some ideas for healthy snacks that travel well are: fresh fruit (bananas, apples or grapes), veggie sticks, cheese sticks, crackers, dried fruit and cheerios.

Don’t Over Pack: Sure you want to be comfortable and have all the necessities for your family while on vacation, but try to distinguish what is actually a necessity and what is not. You don’t want to be lugging ten suitcases through busy airports.

Whatever your travel plans may be, by following even a few of these tips can help keep kids happy making you happy resulting in an overall pleasant experience for the entire family.
