TRAVEL PLANNING
Planning
your trip, but don't know where to start?
We have compiled a trip planning guide to get you
thinking about the things you need to consider.
Organise
your documents: Make
sure you have an up to date passport, that will be up to date for
the duration of your trip. Check visa requirements for the country
you are travelling to. Some countries require that you arrange a visa
before you leave home, while others will grant a tourist visa when
you land! Make sure you have a suitable travel insurance organised.
Book flights and accomodation: One of the fun parts about travelling
is the booking of your flights and/or accomodation. Make sure you
shop around at different travel agents, because prices can vary widely.
Check that the prices quoted include all taxes and surcharges.
Get any vaccinations you might need:Make an appointment with
your doctor to check what vaccinations you need or any medicine you
should take with you. Common ones to look out for are Typhoid, Malaria
and Hepatitis.. not the kind of things you want as souvenirs!
Look after the home front: Unfortunately, while you're away,
there are often still things that need to be looked after back home.
Make sure you have arrangements in place for someone to look after
your bills, plants and mail. If you are going to be leaving a house
empty, consider finding someone to house-sit for you while you're
away.
Organise things to do
Make a list of things that you plan to do while away: Do some
research on the internet about your holiday destination. There may
be special events on that you can only attend if you book in advance.
Planning what you're going to see will make it a lot easier to relax
when you're on holidays!
Make a packing list: Start making a packing list a few weeks
in advance. As the weeks go by, you will undoubtedly think of many
more things to add. Write them down as you go, then pack everything
on your list in the last day or two.
Look after your finances: Find out what currency you will need
and figure out the best way for you to deal with it. Credit cards
can be convenient, but also unsafe in a lot of areas. Travellers cheques
are a good safe alternative.
Stay in touch: Take an address book with you, with all the
important contacts in it. Check on any foreign phone codes and write
them in your address book. Before you start your trip, make sure you
let people know that you will be away and how they can contact you
while you're away. If you don't have an email address that you can
check on the road, you can set up one through Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail
or become a Travellerspoint member to keep an online diary or blog
of your travels and have your friends and family send you messages
through our internal messaging system.
