1. Do your travel screening at a travel clinic, not your primary physician who isn’t able to prescribe all the necessary immunizations. Plus the travel clinic will better prepare you as they have much more experience and training to what you may encounter.
2. Be prepared for sore arms. I had to get 7 shots (and more still to come) and that doesn’t include the countless other pills and medication I was prescribed.
3. Borrow don’t buy (thanks Julia, Jane and Noona). Saves money plus it’s good to recycle.
4. Pack light as you can always buy things on the way. Plus you’ll save your back and hopefully avoid the sweat.
5. Start your preparations early. There’s a lot to take care of besides the actual trip planning and it never hurts to double check.
6. Go with the flow. A set itinerary doesn’t necessarily produce the best experience.
7. Be prepared for the plethora of advice people are willing to offer you. If you’re diligent, take notes, or just ask them to respond to your blog with tips.
8. Do not eat oysters before or during your trip...I'll just leave it at that.
haha wow 2 posts! The first post is more relevant for me to post on but I thought I would try to spread it out so you get comments on all your posts. I think your subtitle is really funny.
