Before You Go
Traveling!
Do you need a travel Visa?
Travel visas can take time to progress and some countries are slower
than others or may require more information than others. You should
investigate, well beforehand, whether the country you're traveling
to requires you to obtain a travel visa and if so what steps you
must take to satisfy the visa regulations.

Do you need an International Driving
Permit?
Even though you may not plan to be driving while traveling overseas,
its a good idea to be carrying an International Driving Permit (IDP)
which is valid in over 150 countries. The IDP contains your personal
information and a photo, is written in ten languages and will assist
you considerably when dealing with local authorities overseas. ...

Do you need travel insurance?
The obvious answer is 'Yes' and should not require further
explanation if you have seen the news, and have seen what happens to
travelers when an airline, or even cruise ship company, halts or
ceases operations suddenly. It would be bad enough to have your
vacation or business trip interrupted by such an event, but worse if
getting home absorbed the funds that were earmarked for other
things.
Do you have health & medical coverage
while away?
Do check with your current health and medical insurance provider to
ensure you are properly covered for any contingency while away from
home. Medical plan coverage can differ greatly from one provider to
another. Should your health insurance company not have the means to
provide you with the additional travel coverage, you may want to
contact a specialty provider of overseas medical coverage.
Will your cell phone or blackberry
operate at your destination?
Not all areas of the world use the same cell phone technology Check
with your provider and also check out alternative plans for
travelers. Make sure you can stay in touch!

Check your credit
standing before traveling.
You
should always plan for the unexpected. No matter how carefully
planned your trip may be, if the unexpected were to occur you would
want to know you have healthy credit line to handle emergencies.
Identity theft is a major problem around the
world. It is advisable to subscribe to a credit monitoring
system prior to your departure and for a few months after your
return. Most agencies charge less than US$10 per month and alert
you to any changes on your credit report. This can you save you
thousands not to mention several big headaches!
