How to Pack a Suit
Your carry on may have very little room. In most cases, you may be better off wearing your suit instead of packing it. If you need to pack the suit, select either the jelly roll or folding method for the pants, as discussed in step 2. Fold the jacket as follows:
- Turn the jacket inside out.
- Fold it in half, placing one shoulder inside the other.
- Neatly align the lapels and sleeves.
- Place the folded jacket inside a dry cleaner's bag, and fold in half horizontally.
- Place the jacket in the carry on.

Throughout history, the location of the Dry Tortugas has come in contact with a many shipping vessels. In early American history, Spanish explorers and merchants traveled along this coast. In the mid 1800’s, Fort Jefferson was built to protect the shipping channel for the United States.

How to Get a Cab in San Antonio
If you're finishing your meal at a restaurant and need a ride home or to your hotel room, consider asking your waiter or waitress to call a cab for you. They will likely be quite familiar with cab services in San Antonio and should know exactly who to call. However, even if they're not so sure, the restaurant will likely have a phone book in the back as well as someone on staff who has enough experience to make a recommendation. If you've chosen not to copy down the phone numbers listed above, Yellow cab is (210) 222-2222 and should still be easy to remember. If they aren't sure who to call, ask for that phone number is it is "all twos."
If you've been drinking at the bar, asking the bartender to call a cab for you is also simply the most responsible option. Even if you drove your car or truck to the bar or restaurant, the establishment would much rather deal with your vehicle in their parking lot than the liability of having you drive while drunk. In some instances, they could even be held legally responsible for your accident.
