Make Sure Before You travel

1. Be sure and have any medication, camera, jewelry (I would not even take any jewelry) in your carry-on. Do not pack these things in your checked bags. AND DO NOT PACK ANY CASH, TRAVELERS CHECKS OR CREDIT CARDS IN YOUR CHECKED BAGS.
2. You will only be allowed one suitcase not weighing over 50 pounds, one carry on and a purse or small brief case type item. If you go over the weight restrictions the airlines will charge you big.
Tour companies only allow one suit case per person on the bus.
3. If you are parking yourself at the airport, please remember to write down where you parked and place it somewhere handy that you will remember. When you return home you are going to be very tired and trying to remember this stuff is just too hard.
If you are arranging other transportation to and from the airport be sure and have their contact information, so you can get in touch if you need to. I would give them a call when you return to the states before your connecting flight takes off to touch base and review your pickup details.
4. Be sure and carry a jacket with you onto the airplane, they generally keep the cabins very cold and that would be a long miserable trip if you cannot get warm.
5. There will be instructions in your documents stating when and where your tour guide will greet you and you will join the group. We will go over these documents together.
6. You are going to need a travel plug converter in order to use any of your electronics over seas.
DO NOT PLUG IN ANY OF THEM WITHOUT USING THE CONVERTER YOU WILL FRY YOUR APPLIANCE, CAMERA, PHONE, CURLING IRON, HAIR DRYER, ETC. You can pick one up at Wal-Mart.
