Before You Go

Before you head off for that special adventure, you want to think about planning.

So much to do, so little time.

There’s admittedly a bit of pre-travel anxiety at work here. That’s normal. You want your adventure to be everything you hope for, everything you dream of.

You’ll probably have some pre-trip dreams about it, like the one where you arrive at the airport, only to find the plane has already boarded and taken off. Or you’re on the plane, but you’ve forgotten to check your luggage. Or the one where you’re trying to ask where to buy more batteries, but no one understands English.

Don’t worry. You can have a memorable, stress-free experience.

If I forget to pack it, can I buy it there?

Do you really want to spend your free time in a foreign country trying to find a place that sells your favorite deodorant when you could be shopping for a silk kimono?
