Important questions:
Things to keep in mind while you plan your trip!
1) How much will your plane tickets cost and what airline(s) are you using? Do you have to make more than one flight connection to get to your destination?
2) What time is your flight? When does the airline suggest you arrive at the airport for your flight?
3) What kind of identification do you need? Do you need a passport? How long does it take to apply for one?
4) What allowances do you have to make for the change in time zones?
5) Are you going to a country that requires specific medical considerations, such as vaccinations or medicines?
6) What climate and season will you be traveling in? How will that effect what you pack for your trip? Do you need to pack lightly?
7) What is the currency for the countries you are visiting? What is the current rate of exchange?
8) What languages are spoken in the countries you will visit? Do you, or does someone in your party speak those languages, or will you have to take a dictionary, or will you invest in an electronic translator? How much is it worth?
9) How much money will you set aside for souvenirs? Where will you store the souvenirs to bring home? Does your airline restrict how much luggage you can bring?
10) What are some emergency numbers you will need? (Think about who could help you in a foreign country; who is in that country from your own country?)
