An experienced group organizer provides excellent reminders
to students about to embark on their 2014 passports tour!
- Have you notified your bank you’ll be using your debit or credit card in England and France? Should they increase your daily cash limit?
- If your card is brand-new: have you used your card at an ATM yet? You have to activate it here in order for it to work there.
- Do you have a money/passport pouch yet? Make sure you wear the kind that goes around your neck, and under your clothing. Do not carry a waist pouch for your money and passport, and don’t put it in your purse, backpack or other shoulder bag. Carry it with you at all times.
- You will need both sunscreen and rain gear; including a long-sleeved jacket or heavy sweatshirt.
- If you decide to bring your phone you need to contact your provider today. It takes a while to set up global Travel Phone Plans.
- Does your camera need long-term/ special batteries?
- Do you have a charger? Converter & European plugs?
- Do I, and passports, have a record of your medications? Remember to keep them in your carry-on bag, do not put medications in a checked bag.
- Do you have any special dietary restrictions, such as vegetarianism, allergies, or foods you can’t eat?
- Where is your passport? Is it valid for at least 6 months after your return from the tour?
GET READY FOR FUN TIMES AHEAD!!
