Little kids/babies on the plane are the worst.

I had a flight from Raleigh to Seattle...about 7 hours. Four babies on the plane. Once one stopped crying, another would start. It was like this from start to finish.

I would pay an extra if I could get a childless flight.
Invest in some of those bose noise-cancelling headphones.

@BigHench @HewittAve

Any London heads have suggestions for nightlife? I'm gonna be out there in a few weeks. Just looking for spots where I can find one or all of the following: good music, strong drinks, dope women :shaq:

I'm sure the coli members who live in London will know of better places, but when I was there last Picadilly Square on a Saturday night was packed with people. I didn't end up going into any clubs, but lots of women out in the area. Looked as busy as new years eve in Seattle. You can also checkout Leicester Square nearby which had a lot of nightclubs and casinos.

East London probably has some good spots.

Thanks for the travel tips breh. I'm gonna be meeting up with my family in Berlin (they're going to Venice and then we're going back to Toronto together from Paris afterwards)...I don't think I'm gonna be checking out any bondage or swingers clubs :pachaha:

I'll rep you once I'm off 24s

I have to agree with @Idaeo on his post on Venice. I've been twice both times for just 24 hours. I'm can honestly say it's the only city I can say I've ever truly been lost and didn't know which direction was North from South.

Saint Marks Square is a must see. It is way too crowded though. Your best bet is to be there early before everyone else.

Make sure you ride the taxi that runs through the Grand Canal. It's a good way to see a lot of Venice. Gondola rides are kind of expensive, but it's enjoyable. Your guide will point things out to you that normally you'd never see or know anything about. It's actually very calm and soothing when your gliding a cross the water away from the main tourist areas.

I highly recommend getting away from the main area and get lost. My favorite part was just wandering in the areas that most people never see.

If you have time and money (not sure how much it costs. It was part of a tour I was on) go watch glass blowing. It's pretty incredible what they are able to make.

Pics from my last time there.

Oh and if you see cruise ships coming in to dock get far away. Thousands and thousands of people are about to take over everything.

Hey I'm heading to Jamaica in November. I read somewhere that I should swap out the SIM card on my phone once I get there. Is that the right thing to do?

Anytime I go anywhere I get a sim card from that place, most places are prepaid and usaually cheap. If you have android some of there phones have dual sim, your provider charges too much for international plans.

Sorry if this is a dumb question but will the sim cards provide data as well so I upload pics to IG and stuff?

And that villa is clean as fukk. I ashamed to admit I had to look up where Zanzibar is.

yea you buy like 30 minutes of voice and 1gb of data, and with it being prepaid you just upgrade as needed. the person at the teller can set everything up for you and give you your number. and next time you come you have a sim already.. yea Zanzibar is one of many hidden gems in africa
