Here
are some of the most important things you should remember
during your Honeymoon...
1.
Knowledge is power. Do some research on the places you
plan to visit so you will know what to expect. This will
help eliminate the anxiety of "what-if" running
through your head.
2.
Rest up before you go -- you'll enjoy your trip more and
worry less if you are well rested and energetic. If flying
long distances, you might want to stop over for a night or
two along the way.
3.
Before you go, make a copy of the opening page of your
passport and other important travel documents and keep
them separate from the actual documents when you travel.
Then you won't panic if those documents are lost or
stolen.
4.
Learn basic phrases of the local language -- you'll feel
more in control.
5.
Stay connected to friends and family through periodic
e-mails or telephone calls -- it will help keep you from
feeling isolated. Make certain to provide them with your
itinerary with contact numbers at the hotels where you'll
be staying. You should also bring your cellular phone or
purchase a satellite phone just in case.
6.
If music relaxes you, make certain that you take your favorite
CD's or tapes along -- you may not be able to find your favorite
titles or artists overseas. Bring along a transistor radio
so you can listen to the BBC or other English language
stations.
7.
Learn some deep breathing exercises or other relaxation
techniques that are easy to do.
8.
Exercising can also help you relax. Before booking your
hotels, find out what facilities or access to health clubs
they have. If you prefer, there are exercises that can be
done on the floor in your hotel room. Consider bringing
along a jump rope or other easy-to-pack exercise product.
9.
Try to blend in -- avoid wearing obvious U.S. symbols such
as U.S. team sports shirts. Sample the local culture and
take note of and follow local customs, so you won't feel
like you're sticking out from the crowd.
10.
Make sure you have a resource for medical and personal
safety assistance lined up, such as SOS Global Traveler
assistance services, which provide telephone access 24/7
to Western doctors. That way should you need help, you'll
always know who to call.
