Regardless of how you will be arriving at your destination, these tips can help you prepare. The following advice will help you get started.
Keep written notes of key information if you are traveling abroad. Addresses, phone numbers, names of hotels and attractions you’re visiting should all be listed. You will need to contact the embassy if you have any trouble. Your embassy can assist you with any issues you may encounter.
Avoid food allergies when going abroad by not going to places that cannot translate. If you have food allergies, you should familiarize yourself with the foreign language names of your allergies. That way you can ask the waitstaff if their selections have the allergen in their ingredients.
If immunizations are required for any country you are visiting, be sure to carry along proof of vaccination. This comes into play whenever you are attempting to enter or leave a country, and can even be a problem when traveling between cities in the same country. If you do not have the certificate, there is no way to prove you had the vaccination so authorities may quarantine you.
As you get ready to go out of town, pick a digital camera that will work for the kind of trip you are taking. For instance, if your trip involves backpacking, it may not be wise to have a camera with a rechargeable battery. You want a camera you can turn off and on quickly and that focuses fast.
Think long and hard about melting the ice available to you to brew your cup of strong caffeine each morning. Rather than drinking tap water, put ice in the ice bucket and let it all melt overnight. In the morning when you wake, you will have fresh water for brewing coffee and brushing teeth.
