Things to Remember

When using a credit card or cash card in ATMs abroad, remember that these machines require a four-digit Personal Identification Number (PIN), which U.S. credit cards do not usually carry. Have your credit card company assign you a four-digit PIN before you go. This must be done at least a month prior to your trip.

If in doubt, the number one rule is don't drink the water, and that includes ice. If you don't know for certain that the water is safe, always assume the worst.

Pack everything of value in your carry-on luggage. Though it may seem to be stating the obvious, if your luggage is lost, even temporarily, you could experience problems that are easily prevented.

Pack as light as possible and be sure that you have room in your luggage for souvenirs. Comfortable walking shoes and loose fitting clothes are a must. Remember that many airlines are enforcing the "one piece of carry-on luggage" rule, particularly when the flight is full, so pack your bags accordingly.
