Does the collision insurance (CDW) benefit of a U.S. Citi AAdvantage Visa apply to car rentals in Europe? Could you also add this answer to this question:? travel.stackexchange.com/questions/435/… |

Does the collision insurance (CDW) benefit of a U.S. Citi AAdvantage Visa apply to car rentals in Europe? Thanks very much for adding the personal experience. Sounds like it might be worth paying for the insurance directly from the rental company to avoid such a potential headache. If using a card with 'primary' insurance, would it be closer to experience of using the bought-from-the-rental-company insurance? |

Traveling between US and Canada with expired US passport but valid EU passport While it seems you might be able to enter Canada without a passport, you will need a passport or other acceptable document in order to re-enter the U.S. on your way back. |

Can I buy a SIM card in Germany for a short duration? It turns out that there are providers who offer SIM cards with very cheap international calling without using an additional calling card--see my answer. |

Can I buy a SIM card in Germany for a short duration? Yes, it's very easy to get a SIM card in Germany. Plenty of network operators have stores where you can go, and almost all supermarkets also have re-branded discount SIM cards. To activate the SIM card, you'll need to go online and register a German address, but there is no verification. |

Should one bring a power strip when travelling from the U.S. to Europe so that one won't have to get more than one power adapter? I tried this, bringing a power strip from the USA to Germany. Once plugged in in Germany, there were some crackling noises, smoke came out, and it no longer worked. I guess it had some surge protection circuitry or something that didn't like 220V? |

How to tip in the United States? I disagree with @littleadv; Servers prefer cash. But it would be unusual to mix forms of payment. |
