Travel Safely
Planning your family holidays is not complete without taking into consideration that you must travel safely at all times. Reviewing a few very important safe holiday steps with your family prior to travel will ensure you have taken the necessary precautions for a wonderful vacation.
Here are 10 very important tips for safe travel for you to review so that you do have a trouble free safe vacation with your family.
-
Be informed of your chosen destination.
-
Are there any travel advisory’s posted for the country you are traveling to? Is it safe for you and your family to travel to your country of choice at the time you wish to go? Check with your local travel agent or government websites online regarding travel abroad.
-
Travel medical insurance - do not travel without it unless you can afford the thousands of dollars for medical treatment and expenses. This is probably the most important tip I can pass on to you! Why so many people choose to take a chance and not purchase travel medical insurance for the sake of saving a few dollars, puzzles me. If you can afford to travel, you can afford travel medical insurance!
-
Do you require any vaccinations to protect yourself from disease or any other precautions necessary to ensure a safe holiday for you and your family?
-
Make sure all of your travel documents are safe and secure with you at all times while in transit to and from your destination. Do not pack money, wallets, passports and such in your check in luggage! Be sure to make photocopies of your passports and keep separate from originals. It’s much easier to get them replaced if one of your family members does misplace. It’s also wise to scan your documents and keep attachments in your email account where you can access them anytime, anywhere in the world.
-
Be aware of your surroundings! Take a moment and look around, trust your instincts, if you feel unsafe in a particular area, then you probably are! Leave as quickly and safely as you can.
Travel safely and use common sense. Don’t be caught alone in unfamiliar areas where you shouldn’t be, especially at night! If you’re on vacation, this is when you are most vulnerable, as we tend to let loose and let our guard down. We also tend to over indulge in alcoholic beverages while enjoying our vacation, putting us at greater risk. Men should not carry wallets in their back pockets and women should keep purses tight against them, especially in crowds such as busy airports, train stations and so.
-
Another tip for safe travel is to leave that expensive jewellery at home if possible. It draws attention to undesirables and empty out wallets of extra credit cards, identification and other unnecessary items.
-
Watch what you eat and drink to avoid sickness and health, particularly avoid water from the tap and be very careful with side food stands. You certainly don’t want that safe holiday ruined from eating or drinking something you shouldn’t have.
-
For those who wear eyeglasses, always take an extra pair in case your original is lost or broken. To travel safely, you have to be able to see your best!
-
Be polite and courteous at all times with those around you.
Most of all have a wonderful safe and memorable vacation with your family!
Happy travels!
