Planning on long-term travel? Be prepared!

Submitted by Wanderlust Andi

Are you planning a long-term travel excursion? Be aware that long term trips can add additional tasks, such as::

  • addressing the financial implications
  • getting any needed immunizations
  • obtaining your passport (which can take 4-6 weeks - or big bucks if you need to expedite the process)
  • applying for a visa, if needed
  • making mail and house arrangements
  • plus doing the usual travel arrangements, clothing and packing.

So - start as soon as possible so you can ensure that your trip is the best ever!
