Tips:
-
Notify your bank that you will be leaving the country and give them the dates!
-
BRING AN ADAPTER FOR CHARGING PURPOSES
-
Things that heat up (straightener, curler, blow dryer, steamer) do not work the same as other electronics. You will need to buy specific heat-related items that can be used with an adapter.
-
Have a luggage lock for your suitcase!
-
Do not over pack! If you cannot lift your suitcase, you’re packing too much.
-
Remember you are probably buying souvenirs so try and pack lighter!
-
-
Pack one outfit in your carry-on in case of luggage mishap at the airport.
