Honeymoon Travel Tips

As your wedding day approaches, so does your long-awaited honeymoon. Finally, no more guests and no more planning, just the two of you alone in a romantic getaway. Below is a list of items you may need to help prevent some potential mishaps:

Passport and visas if you are traveling overseas - make sure you have applied for these items far in advance. Remember that security is now extremely tight and unyielding. While you are on your vacation, keep your passport and visas in a safe location, so you won't run into any complications during your return trip.

Passport now required for travel to Canada - beginning in the Summer of 2008 a passport will be required for travel between the U.S and Canada. Currently a passport is required for air travel only. A passport or government issued photo I.D, plus proof of citizenship (such as a birth certificate) are required for land or sea travel. Bring a passport if your planning a honeymoon cruise, just in case you need to fly back to the U.S for any reason.

Carry an adapter for small appliances like your hair dryer or curling iron. If you are going to a foreign country, remember that your electrical plugs may not be the same voltage as required for the electrical outlets available.

Prescription medication - anything that is crucial to your well being will help make your trip that much more enjoyable. If you have allergies and forget your medication, you may have

constant attacks during your time away.

Make a photo copy of ALL credit card , passport and other important documents and a list of traveler's check numbers. Keep these in a separate and safe place - if your wallet gets stolen, you'll be able to call and report your cards and checks stolen. Unused traveler's checks can be reissued, so you won't be stranded with no money.

Inoculations - certain diseases are prevalent in various parts of the world. Check with your doctor to receive the appropriate vaccinations before you leave for your destination.

Extra pair of contact lenses or eyeglasses - if you lose the only pair you have, the rest of your trip may literally be a blur.

Health insurance card - in case of a medical emergency.

Clothes for the climate - if you live in Buffalo and your honeymoon is in Cancun during March, remember that shorts and bathing suits are appropriate but not winter wool coats.

And finally luggage:

Keep you luggage safe by using covered tags to avoid casual observation of your identity or nationality.

Put your name, address, and telephone number inside and outside of each piece of luggage (including carry on luggage - use identical tags if possible).

Put personal belongings in a clear plastic bag. This will reduce inspection time as the TSA Screener will not have to handle individual items.

Pack shoes, boots and other footwear on top of your clothing, as these items will most likely be searched.

Lock your luggage with an approved TSA lock.

Don’t leave your luggage unattended in public areas. If luggage becomes lost, don’t leave the baggage area until you file a report
