Most travelers expect a carefree vacation, leaving worries and troubles behind. The loss of personal property, a minor illness or accident, however, can turn a great vacation into one that you would rather forget. By becoming a well-informed traveler and planning ahead, you will be better prepared to protect your health and safety when traveling.
Travelers checks provide personal security and can be replaced.
Also, carry only credit cards you will use on vacation. Cancelling lost or stolen credit cards is inconvenient and sometimes difficult on a vacation. When traveling to a foreign country always consult your AAA Travel Agent regarding required travel documents such as passports, visas and tourist cards. It is a good idea, however, to always carry proof of citizenship, preferably a passport. Pack a photocopy of your passport separately from the original.
