What You Need to Know in Advance of Travel.
All travelers should familiarize themselves with conditions at their destination that could affect their health (high altitude or pollution, types of medical facilities, required immunizations, availability of required pharmaceuticals.
Insurance, Medicare & Medicaid, Medical Evacuation
If your insurance policy does not cover you abroad, it is a good idea to consider purchasing a short-term policy that does. There are health insurance policies designed specifically to cover travel. Many travel agents and private companies offer insurance plans that will cover health care expenses incurred overseas including emergency services such as medical evacuations.
Bringing Medications or Filling Prescriptions Abroad
A traveler going abroad with a preexisting medical problem should carry a letter from the attending physician, describing the medical condition and any prescription medications, including the generic names of prescribed drugs. Any medications being carried overseas should be left in their original containers and be clearly labeled. Travelers should check with the foreign embassy of the country they are visiting to make sure any required medications are not considered to be illegal narcotics.
If you wear eyeglasses, take an extra pair with you. Pack medicines and extra eyeglasses in your hand luggage so they will be available in case your checked Coleman luggage is lost. To be extra secure, pack a backup supply of medicines and an additional pair of eyeglasses in your checked luggage.
If you have allergies, reactions to certain medications, foods, or insect bites, or other unique medical problems, consider wearing a “medical alert” bracelet. You may also wish to carry a letter from your physician explaining required treatment should you become ill.
Places to Receive Mail
If you will be abroad for an extended period, you may want to arrange for the delivery of your mail. Some banks and international credit card companies handle mail for customers at their overseas branches. In addition, post offices in many countries will hold mail for travelers under their General Delivery services. U.S. Embassies and Consulates do not handle private mail. Check with the embassy of your destination country to see if that will be possible there. A listing of foreign embassies and consulates in the U.S. is available on the Department of State’s website. Foreign embassy and consulate contact information can also be found on the Country Specific Information for each country.
I hope you find this information useful and helps you in planning your next extended vacation.
Treat Yourself to Great Luggage!
When it comes to luggage, there’s no sense in purchasing a low quality luggage set. The best luggage sets will last for decades, and it’s smarter and much more affordable to opt for purchasing a single executive luggage set instead of purchasing multiple inexpensive luggage sets throughout a lifetime. When choosing an executive luggage set, it’s important to be aware of the factors that cause luggage to wear down over time. Luggage that’s made from leather, for example, is much more resilient than that made of other fabrics like nylon. It’s also a good idea to check reviews of the manufacturer’s luggage as a whole. The internet is always a great resource for reading owner reviews of various luggage sets.
For those who own a quality executive luggage set, make sure to take care of it when it’s not in use. Store it in a cool and dry place, and make sure the luggage is emptied out when it is not in use. When taking the luggage on trips, slap a “Fragile” sticker on the top of it, and airport workers just might be a little more liable to handle it with care!
TIPS FOR THE INEXPERIENCED TRAVELER
As an avid traveler, I’ve become accustomed to the hustle and bustle of people, airports and security that accompany any vacation where it’s necessary to fly. I consider myself an observer as I make my way through the terminal, watching the rest of the population struggle to walk and carry their bags at the same time. Although somewhat amusing, I feel sorry for these people as they try to survive the chaos of airports. So, as an expert voyager I think it’s best that I share my knowledge and experience with those who fall below par.
For the sake of everyone’s attention span, I’ve condensed my advice into a short list of tips for the inexperienced traveler. Here we go…
First and foremost, arrive to the airport on time! And when I say on time I mean at least 2 hours before your flight; remember, all flights board 30 minutes ahead of their scheduled departure time.
Secondly, don’t purchase cheap luggage – and when I say cheap, I don’t mean inexpensive. The last thing you want is to have your poorly made or tattered suitcase losing a wheel or handle as you scramble through the airport. Inexpensive luggage sets that are also durable are easy to find.
And finally, if you don’t have to check your bags, don’t! If I had a quarter for every time an airline has lost or damaged my luggage, I’d be close to retirement.

Why travel to Vietnam
For the past decade, Vietnam has turned to be among the fastest growing economies in the World. The country has been known as one of the safest and the most friendly destinations in Asia. This is just the right time to travel to Vietnam: it saves you money most while it gets you the once-in-a-life-time experience. Now is the only time that every of your penny spent brings you the best values. Let’s look further into the clarifications to know why.
First of all, we all know that the US Dollar has lost a lot of its value compared to other national currencies recently. This makes all commodities and services priced in US Dollar much cheaper than before. Now you start know what I mean, folks! All travel and tourism services in Vietnam have been quoted in US Dollars for many years and this is not going to change anytime soon. This is just fantastic news for many non-US travelers as you get hefty discounts the moment your book your trip in Vietnam without the hassle of bargaining! And it’s a pity since this is not good for those of you earning your income in US Dollar.
Look at the global business environment many analysts predict that the US Federal Reserve will have to hike the interest rate in 2009 which would probably mean the US Dollar is appreciating then. If you delay your tour until 2009, maybe the cost you have to spend for Vietnam travel wouldn’t be so good anymore.
Secondly, the majority of the Western travelers in Vietnam have been from the United States. It may be not the case anymore as the US economy is not doing so well nowadays. Many folks in the US will have to tighten your travel expenses. This is not good news for us who are in travel industry and hospitality business in Vietnam, but it is good news for you, the non-US travelers! You have more choices now than ever!
Look back in 2006 and the first 3 quarters of 2007, there were huge hikes in accommodation rates, transport fees, tour costs…, since Vietnam started to boom. There was a surge in the number of Western travelers to Vietnam and the infrastructure for tourism in the country could not catch up to accommodate you all, hence price shooting the moon! Some folks were not that happy, I guess! You paid more and for what! Much less! We at Paradissa Travel had a difficult time arranging the right service for our travelers, too. We had to rely on our good relations and good credits gained among our partners in a number of years for help.
The good thing was that the hard time ushered in creativities. In 2006 and 2007, we had the most creative tour itineraries for our travelers. Many of the bright ideas did not originate in our office, but from you – the travelers and our dedicated tour guide team. Thank you all for your precious co-operations, recommendations and bright ideas! We still have some now for more in the future…It’s good that we have maintained the culture at our company: to provide the service quality defined by our clients! We listen to our fellow travelers!
Thirdly, Vietnam started to have full membership of the WTO (the World Trade Organization) in January 2007, the decision was made in 2006 though. This means things started from 2006 in Vietnam. Many of you may ask then what the heck is that to do with my trip to Vietnam? Wow, it does…it actually does, I’m sorry…The reason is that Vietnam is now open and is the playground for many global players. You go and check the map of South East Asia: Vietnam is smack in the center! It’s location, location, location! Thanks to the location, the Vietnamese had to encounter so many troubles throughout the history! Get a history book on Vietnam, you’ll see what I mean!
Traveling in the country, you can still see Vietnam OK…Eh, I mean as traditional as ever…But please know that there have been numerous massive projects infrastructure-related ones in Vietnam already, most run by multi-national corporations. Without the difficulties in the global economy now, Vietnam would have been changed overnight! Traveling in Vietnam would mean cranking your way amid skyscrapers and heavy traffic full of cars and smoke! I didn’t mean that this scenario was totally not good! It would be nice for the Vietnamese generally as they would have better living quality. But I’m talking about you, the travelers…Would you like to see Vietnam as it is nowadays and come back to see Vietnam in the future or would you only like to see Vietnam in the future only?
The charming elegant Hanoi, the tranquil beach of Nha Trang, Phan Thiet Mui Ne, the fresh nature of Da Lat and Sapa…are all relatively intact and definitely worth a trip now. No one knows for how long they’ll remain that way…Scared of sacrificing amenities? Luxury hotels and resorts in Vietnam are found at most locations now, transportation is as easy and comfortable as ever. The Vietnamese and those in the travel/hospitality business are as professional now as ever, and friendly….And importantly, Vietnam is not fully booked now!
