BEFORE
YOU GO
|
|
|
Leave
a copy of your itinerary with your friends, relatives, neighbors,
or co-workers. They may need to contact you. |
| |
|
|
|
When
figuring your travel budget, take into account transportation,
lodging and meals first. Then figure in shopping, entertainment,
tips and other miscellaneous expenses. |
| |
|
|
|
Leave
valuables at home. Or, if you must bring them with you, insure
them before you leave home and take them with you. |
| |
|
|
|
Make
at least two copies of all important documents such as credit
cards and passport. |
| |
|
|
|
Go
to bed early for three of four nights before flying abroad.
This will help your body adjust for the time changes ahead. |
| |
|
|
|
When
reading travel brochures be sure to read the fine print and
not be sucked into the advertising glamour. |
| |
|
|
|
Find
out in advance who to call in case your checks or credit cards
are lost or stolen. |
| |
|
|
|
Check
the handles and zippers on your luggage before leaving home. |
| |
|
|
|
Always
check the hours of places you would like to go. |
| |
|
|
|
If
you intend to do much shopping, have an extra bag with you for
such purchases. Pack all of your purchases together for purposes
of going through customs. |
