1 2 3 4 5 6 7 [Next] - Having been the veteran of many walking holidays in both this country (UK) and further afield, I feel qualified to share a tip that has always stood me well. During holidays such as walking trips, you are likely to cover considerable ground - so you are wise to prepare your feet well. If blisters develop on your feet whilst trekking towards Matchu Picchu in Peru, you can't go looking for a chemist to solve the problem. My tip: 1. Make sure you carry an adequate supply of Vaseline or Neutrogena cream to apply to your feet before you begin to walk. This enables the free movement of your skin inside your boots, without causing blistering. 2. If you do develop a blister that pops, apply an antibiotic cream such as Neosporin and put on a band aid to prevent infection. For Latin America and Spain destination guides, be sure to visit Pura Aventura Active Holidays. Peter Richards ID2201 - Be sure to consult travel medicine experts before engaging in international travel! Immunizations and prescriptions for preventative medications can help to ensure a healthy trip. Travel Medicine and Immunization Center Travel Medicine and Immunization Center ID1604 - Don't assume you will be able to tap into your voice mail from foreign pushbutton phones. Telephones have 'accents' and what works in the U.S. may not work from England. Have a back-up plan in place or take a portable tone-imitator. B.W. Steele ID1152 - While in any country that you can't read the language ... and you are using your charge card to get the best currency rate ... write on the charge slip right away the amount, items, date, and place of purchase so YOU can read it when the statement comes at the end of the month. Makes for a lot easier bookkeeping. Many times the ink is so faint, you can't read what it says in any language. Randy Danielson ID1159 - Unless you are traveling to Canada from the US, it is usually not safe to drink the water. The water is safe to the locals who are used to it. This doesn't matter if you're a resident of Ukraine of the UK - to residents the water is safe, but not to travelers. All water contains different sets of microbes and mineral deposits, even in the US. If you aren't used to a country's drinking water, then you may get sick just because it is different. Be safe, buy bottled water cheap at the supermarket.
