What to Bring and Travel Tips!

You will be traveling to another country, therefore you may be charged a foreign transaction fee for every credit card swipe.  Want a credit card with no fee?  Check out the link.

Tips

  • If bringing traveler’s checks, keep the serial number of the checks in a safe place and cross off each one as you use them.
  • Bring some cash for tipping the wait staff/bartenders.  Gratituities are  included in the room price, so it’s not necessary but they appreciate it.
  • Make photocopies of your passport and drivers license and store in a different place than your originals.
  • Bug spray for those pesky mosquitoes.
  •  Travel with sun screen and swim suit in your carry on as many rooms are not available when you first arrive.

Passports are required.  If you need to apply for a passport or renew one, I have included the links, for your convenience, to the sites for information on the fees as well as an online form.
