Taking you up on the offer to leave a travel tip…
I just saved a bunch of money by not paying roaming charges on my trip to Brazil. I got this app http://www.youroam.com which allows you to receive phone calls from the USA to your own phone without paying roaming charges. You can also dial local numbers when traveling overseas. So talk, talk, talk.
