For example: http://www.lifttowoopwoop.com or http://online.ride-share.com/ Saves you money and you make great new friends! Also, you can find ride sharing on classifieds sites (e.g. craigs list).

For internal US flights you can use <strong>FareCast </strong> http://farecast.live.com/ , it can track US flights and give you a prediction on when you should buy and when you should wait a little longer as it's possible the prices will fall.

If you plan well, you don't actually need all those extra clothes, unless you're away for 2 weeks. The underwear trick is good. Bring your oldest items with you, and throw some or all of them away. Buy new ones to wear from Filenes or TK Maxx etc. - If you're in the US, pick up a few travel-sized solid deo sticks, shaving foam, etc. - they will last you well and are much cheaper than equivalents in Europe. - Also useful is to buy some small clear 75ml bottles and fill them with your own hair gel, lotion etc for travel. Then just use the hotels own brands for shampoo etc. -Try to consolidate your stays in one chain if possible. For example, Hilton have great coverage worldwide, and there are a number of price level options within Hiltons portfolio. When you achieve status (usually after 10 or 12 nights), then breakfast is free in these hotels. Also of note is that WiFi is often free in many of their cheaper properties ... - Use websites like tripadvisor to ensure that you get a decent accommodation. Fellow traveller experiences will give you a good idea what to expect. "No surprises" is my mantra! - Many credit cards nowadays come with free Priority Pass accounts. These airline lounges are in practically all airports worldwide, and can save quite a lot of $ you would otherwise spend on coffee / water / nibbles in airports - Websites like www.moneysavingexpert.com can help with discounts for trains like the Heathrow or Gatwick Expresses in London Some random thoughts and experiences:-

It's surprising how much money you waste having to buy the forgotten adapters and what not. I wonder about the environmental responsibility aspect of dumping jocks and socks or any clothes for that matter. Can’t really add anything without stating the obvious:

I particularly love the underwear one. Dunnes Stores should start selling a throwaway travel-flat-pack of jocks/socks/deo/toothpaste/toothbrush/razor/shavingcream/aftershave for a few Euro. Regular overnight travellers would buy them in droves. My hacked FON does the job of the Apple router and is nice and small too. Brilliant stuff Pat. I particularly love the underwear one.
