Before You Go...

So, you've bought your ticket and booked your hotel. You're all ready to go, right? Wrong! Here are all the other things you still need to consider before you leave home.

Insurance: Don't leave home without it! Imagine you are in the jungle in Borneo or the wilds of Africa when you slip and break your leg. How will you continue your trip? How will you pay for the extra seats on the plane that you will need to keep your leg raised? Never fear - insurance is here! Whether you are traveling near or far, accidents can (and will) happen. Take the worry out of travel for about a dollar per day.
Visas: Please make sure you verify all visa requirements before you leave home. Trying to enter a country without the correct documentation can be costly and frustrating. Some visas may take two to three weeks to issue so make sure you allow sufficient time when booking your flights.
Currency: Some countries regulate the amount of local currency that can be brought in and out. Certain currencies may not be available overseas but where possible, purchase local currency in advance and in small denominations for immediate expenses such as taxi fares and tips.
Medical: Health regulations change frequently so please contact your local traveler's medical clinic for the most up to date information. Some countries require proof of vaccination for entry.
What to Pack: Not sure what to take with you? www.travelite.org will give you ideas on how to pack light but still have enough clothes to see you through all possible scenarios.
