Leave
copies of your itinerary, passport data page and
visas with family or friends, so you can be contacted in case
of an emergency.
Ask your medical insurance company if your
policy applies overseas, and if it covers emergency expenses
such as medical evacuation. If it does not, consider
supplemental insurance.
Familiarize yourself
with local conditions and laws:
While in a foreign country, you are subject to its laws.
The State Department website at
http://www.travel.state.gov/travel/cis_pa_tw/cis/cis_1765.html
has useful safety and other information
about the countries you will visit.
The key resource for health information is
the Travelers’ Health page of the Centers for Disease
Control (CDC) website at http://www.cdc.gov/travel.
The CDC website also provides general guidance on health
precautions, such as safe food and water precautions and
insect-bite protection. The CDC also maintains an
international travelers' hotline at 1-877-FYI-TRIP
(1-877-394-8747) or, by fax, at 1-888-CDC-FAXX
(1-888-232-3299).
Take a picture (on your cell
phone) of the items you are packing that will be checked in as
well as the suitcase you are packing it in. Keep the picture
on you in case your luggage gets separated during your
travels. This will assist in filling out a lost claims report
and luggage identification.
