I was discussing travel advisories that countries around the world issue for the United States and I got to thinking, just what do these advisories say?

At this time, I have a Niece and Nephew-in-law who are working in at a hospital in the Democratic Republic of the Congo about which the United States Dept of State has issued a Level 3: Reconsider Travel warning with the usual comments like:

The eastern DRC region and the three Kasai provinces (Kasai, Kasai-Oriental, Kasai-Central) due to crime, civil unrest, armed conflict and kidnapping.

The U.S. government has extremely limited ability to provide emergency consular services to U.S. citizens outside of Kinshasa due to poor infrastructure and security conditions.

So I looked up the the current and official Foreign travel advice for Travel in the United States as issued by His Majesty’s Government Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office.

Under Safety and Security: Road Travel, HMG warns:

Driving is on the right hand side of the road.

Check the weather conditions before embarking on a long journey.

Do not sleep in your car by the roadside or in rest areas and avoid leaving any items on display in your car.

Petrol stations that do not display the price of fuel usually charge considerably more than the national average for a gallon of fuel. They’re often found close to tourist destinations and airports, and notoriously near to Orlando International Airport.

There you are.

Beware gas stations notoriously near to Orlando International Airport.

The Online Oxford Learners dictionary defines notoriously as in a way that is well known for being bad.

On the other hand, those have Gas Stations made the list.

You can almost hear, The U.K. government has extremely limited ability to provide emergency consular services to U.K. Subjects close to tourist destinations and airports, and notoriously near to Orlando International Airport.
