When you travel in an unknown place for luxury vacations or travel vacations there is always a risk of the unpredictable. Therefore remain prepared for the unpredictable. Keep a close watch on the security situation of the particular place you are going to travel. Try to get informations about the local customs and restrictions. Pay particular attention to the religious beliefs and always respect them. Keep a list of emergency phone numbers like the local police, pharmacist and the embassy. Keep Xerox copies of all your important documents like your passport, visa, driver's license, and emergency phone numbers. Make copies and give each one to your nearest and dearest who can enquire about you in unforeseen circumstances. If you are suffering from chronic diseases like diabetes or hypertension never forget to mention it in your travel or hotel reservation forms. And one more thing - try to clear hefty bills like Hotel bills in advance. At least you will be protected from sudden change of rate. And last but ot the least -make arrangements for a reserve fund to take care of any eventualities.
