Welcome to Haledon Travel & Tours Travel Tips and Documents

Tip 1: Learn a few essential terms in the native language of the country you are travelling to. For instance, if going to a Spanish speaking country "Hola!" means "hello" and "gracias" means "thank you". Other essential words such as food, water, restroom, etc. should also be learned. Not only will the natives appreciate your effort, your trip will be more enjoyable in learning a new language and culture! Also, it can really help to get around easier!

Tip 2: Passport: Make sure your passport does not expire within 6 months of your date of travel. A large majority of countries insist that your passport be valid for at least that time period, and some of them even insist on it being good for a year. Make a copy, in case you lose it while on vacation (or it gets stolen), so you can send the copy to your Embassy.

Tip 3: When planning your holiday, let your travel agent know well in advance. Specials can come up very quickly that last a limited amount of time. If your travel consultant knows your dates and destinations, she can act quickly to give you a promotional fare.

Tip 4: The United States State Department recommends: Get an international driver's license before you leave the country. The test overseas is tough, and you can't drive on some of the toll (better quality) roads without showing an IDL. Many of the car rental services also insist on an international driver's license.

Tip 5: To help people help you during an emergency in a foreign land, type (and preferably laminate) a small card, on which you mention your age, blood group and other relevant medical details. Most important, a number to contact - a global cell phone or the number of the hotel you are staying at. Carry this at all times in your wallet. Mothers can write details of children with them on the same card

Tip 6: Always keep a recent photo of your children in your wallet - in case you loose them in a crowed area, and need help in locating them.

Tip 7: When travelling by train in Germany, use the tourist amt (office), usually across the street from the station, to obtain overnight lodging. Pack a change of clothes in a small bag, and check the rest of your baggage at the station.

Tip 8: US Citizens: for EMERGENCIES, contact the American Citizens Services, a State Department agency which has offices in every U.S. embassy, consulate, and part-time consulate throughout the world.

Tip 9: If two of you are travelling together, each one should carry a different credit card. If one is stolen or lost, you'll still have a valid one. Also, if magnetic strip goes bad, you still have the other one to use.
