5 Things to know before you travel (Anywhere)

Before you ever set foot on a plane or cruise off on your dream trip you need to know:

1. Are there any travel advisories from our government?  (weather, politics, disease)

2. What are other travellers saying about the destination right now? Tripadvisor.ca  Current reviews from real travellers are invaluable! Their tips and follies can save you money and potential mistakes.

3. What will the weather be like? (This will help you pack appropriately)

4. What are your emergency strategies? What is the Plan B if something goes wrong and your airline strands you? How will you survive if your wallet is stolen?

5. What are your potential health needs and what does your insurance cover? Do you have the 1-800 numbers handy for your credit cards/insurance providers/Government of Canada?

The better you prepare ahead of time, the safer you will be. All good trips are safe trips!
