Only one condition is to enjoy your travel and that is your good health as you have planned an international trip. But there is one factor you may not have considered and that is your health.
Every time thousands of tourists travel abroad and there are chances that some come back not as they had gone healthy and loose their health. It is very much important to talk with your health consultant at least two months before you go overseas. Some countries require vaccines or prevention drugs and medications that we don't normally give here.
The possibility is also there for you to become ill when you travel. So, for primarily it's a good idea to take your own little medical kit. For example, drugs to control diarrhea or vomiting, aspirin, antihistamine, and anti-bacterial ointment. Taking a list of your medications is important, as well. Some countries/cruise ships require that you bring the bottles your medication is in, rather than putting them in a travel pillbox. A current prescription to verify that you do, indeed, take the medication you have with you is important as well.
It's recommended for not only before you make your travel plan but also in general, to make sure you are current on your vaccination schedule. Too often, adults think that they are finished with vaccines because they had all of them when they were younger. That is not the case. Adults need to get boosters or another series of vaccines to make sure they are protected against disease.
You should do the obvious things while you plan to travel. Take quality bottled water, soft drinks and juices. Avoid to take raw fish and non-vegetarian food. Make sure the food you take should be cooked properly and served to you at the standard temperature. Never take that food if something looks or smells the least bit under doubt. Keep attention to your surroundings. Use insect repellant if you're going to be doing a lot of outside walking or touring.
With advance planning by going to your health consultant, getting the necessary vaccines, obtaining copies of your prescriptions and packing the important things - your camera, your clothes, etc. no doubt, you will have an excellent and healthy adventure. Oh...and don't forget your passport and extra money.
