Top 10 Travel Tips for Your Luxury Vacation
- Obey the Law. As stated above, might sound like common sense, but laws differ wildly in different parts of the world. What may be justified in one area may be a capital offense elsewhere. Even if by your standards, you don't agree with the law, you must always live by it. There have been countless stories about tourists believing they are above the law only to find themselves in a heap of trouble (without their embassy's help) and legal woes.
- Passport/ visa. Make sure yours is up to date and relevant. Also be aware that simply owning a visa does not always grant you entry into a country.
- Travel insurance. Insure your trip if something comes up and you have to cancel. And, while you're at it, insure yourself. A lot of people don't do this. But if you know you're going to do some whitewater rafting, play polo, go rock climbing, insure yourself for the sports and activities that you'll be indulging in.
- Check the latest travel advisories and warnings. Each country produces a list of these at their consulates and home countries. It's always good to know before you go. And enemies tend to keep changing. Be aware.
- Before traveling overseas, register your trip and contact details online. Every pilot has to file a flight plan before they take off. As much as this feels like big brother, it actually presents a documentation of exactly where the plane is going in case something terrible happens. This is much the same. Your embassy can look this information up and help in case you go missing.
- Make copies of everything: Your passport, your credit cards, your important information. Carry one set and leave the other at home, in a safe deposit box.
- Check with your doctor to make sure you are immunized for the area you will be traveling in.
- Ensure your passport/ visa have 6 months validity left- oftentimes countries look at this much overlooked fact.
- Leave a copy of your travel plans at home or with a loved one. Also, leave some lights on at home and have someone designated to pick up your mail and feed your cat.
- Research whether holding a dual nationality passport holds any implications, whether positive or negative for where you're planning to visit.
