Adam Ginsberg Travel Survival Guide

Yes, it’s true. I travel a lot. I meet incredible people from all walks of life – many of whom are looking to make a change.  And, in today’s economic climate, change is good.

I travel more than anyone I know.  And, since most of my travel is internationally based these days I spend more time on an airplane than anyone I know.  So much so that I have decided to write the official Adam Ginsberg Travel Survial Guide.

About 18 months ago I received a new passport.  Today there are less than 2 pages left for Customs stamps.  And, part of the fun of travel is definitely getting your passport stamps.

To see a my partial schedule for 2009, go to AdamWorldTour.com – I say partial because I haven’t updated my travel schedule on that site lately.

Let me give you an example…

A few weeks ago I was in New Zealand speaking at a live seminar for 120o people.  I needed to be home for my daughter’s elementary school graduation so I left Auckland at 8PM (local time) and flew to Los Angeles…a 14 hour flight.  I arrive at 1:00 PM the same day (due to time change), attended the graduation and then went back to the airport for a flight to Melbourne Australia.  That’s another 17 hour flight.  So I was on the plane for almost 32 hours and on the ground for less than 7.  THAT was a fun trip – but family always comes first!

So, I can tell you the best time to get to the airport, the best lines to stand in, how to get the best prices on airline tickets and how to get seat upgrades. I’m going to share stories about airport lounges, famous people I’ve met in airport lounges (and sat next to on planes) and how to make friends and do business with the people you sit next to for 14 hours on an international flight.

You’ll discover how to pack, what you can bring on the plane and what you need to check in – and no I’m not talking about the 3 oz liquid limitation.

Where should you sit on the plane and how do you get the most comfortable seats? Did you want an extra meal on the flght or perhaps just more ice cream for desert?  Should you order a special meal? What do you need to bring to make sure you have enough power for your laptop for 12 hours. Does your PSP truly need to be turned off for take off?

In The Official Aam Ginsberg Travel Survival Guide I’ll talk about hotel stays, how to get upgraded hotel rooms and what to do when you forget to make a room reservation. You’ll discover how to travel and NEVER get jet lag.  Yes, 14 hour flights with 17 hour time changes and no jet lag. 40 hours of flying in a 60 hour time frame…From Los Angeles to Singapore and back to Los Angeles in a weekend!

This is not your run of the mill “how to” guide – The Official Adam Ginsberg Travel Survial Guide will have amazing insights into the incredible world of global travel and how you to can become a savy traveler.  It will also be easy to read, funny and heck, you might even learn something too.
