International Travel Tips

Know if your medical insurance fully protects you when traveling abroad. Call your insurance company and ask if your policy covers for emergency expenses such as medical evacuation.

Make sure you have a signed, valid passport, and a visa, if required, and fill in the emergency information page of your passport.

Leave a photocopy of your passport and itinerary with someone at home. Should this be lost or stolen, it may be sent to you to avoid delays returning back home.

Familiarize yourself with your destination and ensure you understand the 'lay of the land' – understand their culture, laws and needed vaccinations.

Do not leave unattended luggage in public areas and do not accept packages from strangers.

Do not bring excessive amounts of cash while site seeing. Leave what you don’t need behind in a hotel safe, not in your room unattended. (we are not sure the resort has a safe, we will check this, you will need less than $100 cash for this trip).
