Travel Tips
"Be prepared" is also a motto for travelers. Having the right
clothes, shoes and first aid kit can make your holiday all the more
enjoyable. Below are some key tips for traveling abroad.
Pack light
Verify your travel documents
Bring a First Aid kit
Avoid dehydration
Stay open-minded
Pack light
Several days in advance of your trip, you should lay everything you plan to
take, and then make changes as required. We always think we need more than
is necessary, often asking the question "Do I need that second sweater,
and how many pairs of shoes will I really wear." The best way to get the
maximum out of your outfits is to have pieces that are interchangeable and
can be layered to cover varying temperatures. A light crease-resistant, rain
and wind-proof jacket will prove indispensable in many climates. With shoes,
the most important thing is comfort. You want to really take advantage of
all there is to do and see, so good walking shoes are a must. Our tours are
casual but you have some free time and if you wish to bring along a dressier
outfit, plan on one that is easy to pack. Check the weather just prior to
your trip to help guide your choices.

Verify your travel documents
Check that you have all of the required documentation, that it is current
and has at least six months validity after the return date of your tour.
Always make at least two photocopies, leave one with someone at home and the
second take with you but keep separately from your documents. In case of
loss or damage you have all the information to expedite replacements.

If you require medication, always keep it with you, never pack it in your
checked luggage. To cover all the little things that can happen, the
following items are a good guideline to follow for bringing along:
