Using a travel agent saves time and money. A good travel agent can provide swifter service and cheaper rates and guarantee better accommodations than you can usually arrange for yourself. There are many ways to measure the value of an agent. Are they attentive to your personal needs and preferences? Are they patient about arranging a tour that will accommodate you? Are they knowledgeable about the place you are going? A travel agent who volunteers candid information in advance should be well on the way to earning your trust. One who does not should be suspect. Hurricane Season Hurricane Season runs from the beginning of June to the end of November. The past several years have seen an increase in the quantity and intensity of hurricanes in the Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea, and Gulf of Mexico. Hurricanes can strike the islands of the Caribbean, the northern coast of South America, Central America including Mexico, Guatemala and Belize, as well as the eastern half of the United States. Hurricane damage is caused by storm surge, high winds, heavy rain, flooding, mud slides, and tornadoes. Regions affected by hurricanes and tropical storms may experience widespread damage to infrastructure, and serious shortages of habitable accommodations, food, water, and medical facilities. Storms can cause the closure of airports or limit flight availability, due to the lack of electricity, and runway or terminal damage. Americans in affected regions may be required to delay their return to the United States while staying in emergency shelters with basic resources and limited medicine and food supplies. If you plan to travel during Hurricane Season, Americans should register with the nearest U.S. Embassy or Consulate through the State Department’s travel registration website. Registration will make your presence and whereabouts known in case an emergency arises. Traveler's Checklist
When vacationing we want you to have a fabulous time, however, please be aware of your surrounding at all times, believe it or not, crime does exist in the most beautiful and secluded destinations. We want you to have a wonderful time, but be safe and cautious on your vacation and most of all, have fun. Some vacationers let their guard down and this is when a criminal may take advantage of you, so please be aware of your surroundings at all times; even the most luxurious resorts do have some type of crime. A travel agent or travel firm can not assume responsibility for any type of crime so when you step out of the door to your relaxing vacation, take precautions so it will be a relaxing and fun time. Be Safe, not Sorry. Travel Secret #1: Avoid Airport Delays! Get there in plenty of time. Make it a relaxing start to your vacation. Travel Secret #2: Drive in Luxury and Save! If you're planning on renting a car and driving a long distance within a short time, consider renting a higher-priced luxury car. Why? Agencies typically charge per mile if you exceed the maximum included in the rental. Luxury cars, although more expensive per day, typically include a higher maximum mileage limit. When you do the math, you actually save money renting the better car... and you enjoy driving in luxury! But, skep the car-rental extras, i.e. Collision damagae waiver (CDW) and loss damage waiver (LDW). Most likely your car insurance or credit card will have you covered. Travel Secret #3: Enjoy 1st Class Food in Coach! Next time you're planning a flight with a meal, call the airline at least 48 hours in advance and order a "Special Meal." Every airline offers a large meal selection to satisfy even most finicky eaters. The food is better... and you get served first! Travel Secret #4: Sightseeing after dark? Keep a roll of $1 bills wrapped in a $10 bill. If confronted by a person seeking to rob you, pull it out slowly, quickly throw it far away from you, and run in the opposite direction. The robber will think it's a large sum of money and chase after it, instead of you! Report the incident to the police. Travel Secret #5: Be prepared for Emergencies! To help people help you during an emergency in a foreign land, carry a small card indicating your age, blood group and other relevant medical details. Include a contact number - a global cell phone or the number of the hotel where you're staying. Since your medical records won't be available, this little card could help save your life should you require emergency medical treatment! Travel Secret #6: Check your passport. Some countries won't let you in if have less than 2 empty pages. Also, check the expiration. Many counties require that it be valid for 6 months after your return date. Check the country's entry requirements by going to travel.state.gov. Travel Secret #7: Know about the VAT refund. When traveling to other countries ask for a "de-tax" form from the shop whn making large purchases, read the instruction, and allow extra time at the airport to get your sales tax refunded. Travel Secret #8: Resist the lure of desinger knockoffs. U.S. Customs and Border Protection can seize counterfeti copyrighted and trademarked articles when you come back into the US. Travel Secret #9: Call your credit card companies. Notify them that you will be traveling abroad. Travel Secret #10: Use your phone, not your feet. When your flight is canecled or severely delayed, use your cellphone to reschedule a flight or to get wait-listed. Travel Secret #11: DON'T LOOK LIKE A TOURIST! Avoid wearing fanny packs, belt bags, or anything similar. Locals spot you for a tourist and a quick snip of your belt and your bag is gone. Backpacks are easily slit open from behind. Be particularly cautious on subways, public buses, and other tight quarters where these crimes happen more frequently. Travel Tips Sorting Your Dirty Clothes: Carry an extra fold up bag in your suitcase, put all the dirty clothes in that one and send it through to the home destination. This makes it easier when you get home. All you have to do is dump that one piece of luggage near the washer and dryer. | |||||||||
