After all the fun yet tiring wedding ceremonies, months of planning and the emotional ups and downs, this one trip is so desperately needed! This one holiday guarantees you get some alone time with your husband and, for sure, no other holiday can be as romantic. To get the best out of this one trip, here are a few tips you absolutely must read.
KEEP THE ID DOCUMENTS WITH YOU ALL THE TIME –
Your passport and any other ID proofs are worth their weight in gold when you are travelling abroad. Keep them as close and safe as you can, at all times, at all costs. You never know where you might need them and it will just waste your time if you leave for some sight seeing and they ask for your ID, you’ll have to return to the hotel. That will be a spoil spot for the mood as well.
REMEMBER TO HAVE HARDCOPIES OF ALL THE DOCUMENTS –
It is wise to have a hardcopy and a photocopy of all the important documents like passport, nic, visa etc Because God forbid if the original goes missing, at least you have the copy of it to use on urgent basis. Do not rely only on the soft copies in your phones and laptops, make sure that you have the printed paper copies as well. Make sure that each of you carry a set, just in case. This includes your hotel booking confirmations. Also, while travelling within a foreign city, always leave a hard copy of these documents behind in your hotel room, just in case.
MATTERS OF MONEY –
Make sure you know everything about the exchange rates etc about the country you are travelling to. Instead of taking all your credit cards along, take only two or three. And also, do inform your bank that you are travelling abroad. They’ll give you some handy tips about their exchange rate and money matters. Also, always divide cash, cheques and cards between the two of you instead of one person carrying everything. It’s an unfamiliar place after all and god forbid, what if one of you is lost?
MAKE MAP YOUR FRIEND –
Map can be your ultimate friend when travelling abroad! Obviously, you are new to the place and will need help with directions. Make sure to get yourself familiar with map reading do that it’s not a problem for you. Not a just country or location map, but an actual transport map. Even if you depend upon your GPS for travel it is still advisable to get a hard copy of the map of the city. In case you are taking the local transport, make sure you have a route map of the same.
STAY POWERED UP ON YOUR DEVICES –
It’s important to keep your devices powered up at all times, especially when you are in a foreign place. Make sure you are carrying at least two power banks and two sets of chargers/adapters. You don’t want to play tug-of-war between yourselves when it comes to chargers and power banks when you should be enjoying the pretty locales, right?
KEEP YOUR LUGGAGE LIGHT –
Don’t carry a lot of stuff from your home. Keep it light and keep space for more so that you can bring souvenirs or can do shopping there if you want. You will buy gifts for your family members for sure. If you don’t want to pay extra for some added kilos, pack light on your way out of the country. Also, travelling light will give you increased freedom and mobility.
DON’T FORGET THE CAMERA –
That goes without saying! Be sure to carry your own DSLR or digi cam to capture your perfect moments in H.D. This is a special time for your both and record as much as you can to preserve the memories. For most people, honeymoons happen only once and the memories you make are worthy of a better capture than your phone camera will allow. Carry apolaroid too if you can.
MEDICINES FOR PREVENTION –
If you have some long-standing health concern, like asthma or migraine, research on the country specific med alternatives as you may not always find the exact brand you use. Apart from specific ailments, carry some drugs for regular health concerns such as digestion, headache, fever, allergy, sprains etc. Make sure you know the country-specific medicine guidelines for tourists.
