Foreign Travel



 Foreign Travel.......Another A-Z post. (Fort Sumter post click here)

Foreign Travel takes far more preparation, planning and organization then traveling within your own country.

  • Do you have a passport?
  • Do you need a visa?
  • What type of currency do you need, and how long do you need to give your bank to obtain the funds?
  • What is the exchange rate?  Are you charged if you use your charge card?
  • Will there be a language barrier?
  • Will your electrical devices, such as your phone, computer and i-pad be compatible with the electrical outlets where you plan to travel?
  • Do you need to make special telephone arrangements?  Is your cell phone set up for foreign travel?
  • Do you need to purchase skype or other such service to minimize the cost of phone calls back home?
  • Do you need to upgrade your Garmin (or other GPS) to have directions in your travels?
Do pay attention to these items ahead of time, otherwise you'll find yourself struggling to over come problems instead of enjoying your travels.
