Other Recommended Travel Tips::

• Notify bank and credit card companies of your international travel. This will help avoid any issue using your cards during your travel.
• Take a picture of your passport and travel documents. Email these to a yourself and a friend/family member.  This will come in handy in case you lose anything while traveling.
• Don’t exchange money at the airport or hotel. These typically have the worst exchange rates. Be sure to visit a local bank in the country and compare the exchange rates being offered.  Also, take some local currency with you as well.
• Always pack a day worth of clothes in your carry-on. Just in case your checked baggage is lost or delayed.
• If renting a car, make sure you are rewards member of the specific rental car company. This will typically allow you to skip the general line at the rental car location.  Highly recommended!
