Ensure that your travel documents are in order. To be on the safe side, take multiple copies of the documents. If you are flying abroad, ensure that your passport is valid for at least six months after your departure date, finalize your travel insurance and book your tickets well in advance to avoid any disappointment. If you have any medication prescribed make sure to take enough of them to last through your entire stay or a few days more in case of any unexpected delays. Do not keep your hopes focused on getting them in the country you are visiting as they might be too expensive or difficult to find in that country. Even worse, your prescription might be deemed invalid in that country. Add in a first aid kit that contains all the required items. These include band-aids, motion sickness tablets, plasters and pain relievers.
