    • Travel preparation

    • Some countries requires that your passport has at least 6 months validity left.
    • Reconfirm your flights as there may be airline schedule changes. Your return flight must be reconfirmed at your destination directly with the airline 3 days prior to your departure.
    • Make sure that your luggage has a tag with your name, address, and telephone number. Tie a colorful ribbon or attach distinctive stickers to your luggage so that you can identify it easily, and other travelers will not take it by mistake at a busy terminal.
    • Most companies offer signup and monitoring online. Getting your air miles after your trip is a pain, so better do it in advance.

    • Home preperation

    • A pile of newspapers or a stuffed mailbox tells thieves that you are not at home.
    • One way to help protect your home while away on vacation is to make it seem like the homeowners are currently there. This can be done by setting up timer lights throughout the house. Lights can be placed on timers both indoors and out which will present an at home atmosphere. Those who perpetrate breaking and entering crimes will be less likely to target a home which has lights on and may opt for houses which are dark and obviously no one is home.

    • Vaccinations

    • Transmitted person-to-person by ingestion of contaminated food or water or through direct contact with an infectious person.
    • Transmitted by mosquito bites. Many countries require you to have a vaccination certificate proving you got this shot, so don't forget to bring it along, or you may be denied entry at the border or airport.
    • Transmitted by the ingestion of contaminated food or water.
    • Malaria is a mosquito-borne infectious disease, causing symptoms that typically include fever and headache, in severe cases progressing to coma or death.
      Argentina: Rural areas along northern border in the Chacos, Corrientes, Jujuy, Misiones and Salta provinces. All other areas, including lguacu falls - very low risk, avoid mosquito bites
    • Transmitted by animals, most commonly by a bite from an infected animal. The virus infects the central nervous system, ultimately causing disease in the brain and death.
    • Recommended if you are not up-to-date with routine shots, such as measles/mumps/rubella (MMR) vaccine, diphtheria/pertussis/tetanus (DPT) vaccine, poliovirus vaccine, etc.

    • Documents

    • Many countries demand that you have such a certificate when you enter their borders.
    • Remember to keep a close eye on the passport copy - it's a great asset if you lose the original, but can also be used to steal your identity if it gets into the wrong hands.
      If you have a web based e-mail platform, e-mailing yourself scans/copies of important documents and passport info is a great alternative to hard-copies. It's easier to access, less likely to be stolen, and guaranteed to always be on hand.
    • You may need a photo to obtain passes, permits, etc.
    • If you have any of these (AAA, Hertz, Avis, Hilton, etc.), going abroad may be a good opportunity to use them.
    • Can save you some money in Youth Hostels, trains, museums, planes, so get one if you qualify as a student.
