'''Travel'''
Some poskim says that one who travels during a fast, should finish the fast according to his arrival destination. <ref> Iggerot Moshe 3:96. This applies even if on Tisha B'av his fast will last less than 24 hours. However, Sh"t Yaskil Avdi 8:38 says that although the public fast ends according to the time of his place of arrival, an individual has a personal obligation to fast twenty hours on Tisha B'av and that he should continue fasting into the tenth of Av to complete his 24 hours. </ref>

# A Baal Nefesh should be strict not to wash oneself in hot water or anoint oneself, however it’s permitted to wash with cold water or wash one’s hands, feet, and face with hot water. <Ref> Mishna Brurah 550:6 and Shaar HaTzion 550:8. Yalkut Yosef Moadim page 530 permits washing one's body with hot water, but adds that one who is strict is praiseworthy. </ref>
