Tips For Safe Honeymooning Abroad

                                                                                         

Most likely your chosen destination will have their own website to give you details about weather, traffic, language, money, sites of interest, shopping and lodging.

These are some safety precautions that will give peace of mind to overseas travel:

· Read the Public Announcements, regarding travel warnings, on the U.S. State Department’s website at www.state.gov.
· Make 2 copies of your passport identification page in case it is lost or stolen. Leave one copy at home with relatives and carry the other in a separate place from your passport.
· Familiarize yourself with local customs and laws of the countries to which you are traveling.
· Leave a copy of your itinerary, including hotel names, addresses, and phone numbers with family so that you can be contacted in case of an emergency.
· Carry as little currency as possible. Instead use travelers checks, ATM cards and credit cards for your spending needs.
· Invest in a money belt that sits on your waist under your clothes. Don’t tempt purse snatchers or pickpockets—keep your cash well concealed at all times.
· Some countries require an international driver’s license or permit. An American driver’s license is valid in most of Europe. Check with your local Department of Motor Vehicles.
· To avoid being a target of crime, try not to wear expensive jewelry, conspicuous clothing, or carry excessive amounts of money.
· If you get into trouble, or need more information about the area, contact the nearest U.S. embassy upon arrival.
· When choosing a hotel, make safety, not price or location your main priority.
