Carry some with you when travelling so you are not forced to eat in airport restaurants or snack stands (especially in Mexico). Also, when driving, the next decent restaurant may be a half-hour or more away - and these bars can be a lifesaver. Florence Burley ID575 - It is advisable to keep copies of medical reports on X-ray, ECG and blood /urine or any other tests prescribed by the family doctor, since insurance companies do not reimburse on medical expenses for existing illness in countries abroad. These copies can also be with the family as well as in the personnel file of the employer to assist individuals during crisis. Srinivasan Rajagopalan ID39 - If you are a senior on Medicare and you are traveling outside of the United States, be aware that Medicare does not cover any of your medical bills. On a recent trip to Canada my wife became ill and had to spend 10 days in the hospital at a total cost of 18,000 dollars. The prudent thing to do is get a trip insurance policy that covers medical costs. George Nosek ID565 - When calling to make a reservation at a B and B, ask your host or hostess to tell you what makes their accommodations unique. Perhaps it's their gourmet breakfasts, or their close proximity to local attractions. They may be famous for their mystery weekends, or because they serve high tea when guests arrive. They'll be glad to share their claims to fame with you, and you can decide if this sounds like 'your kind of place.' If it is, now's a good time to share with him/her any special needs you have so everything will be ready just for you. Tree House Bed and Breakfast ID592 - When travelling to destinations that require you to take a mosquito net, don't forget to take some string or twine (or spare shoelaces) and a couple of small screw-in hooks. If there is nothing handy to tie the net to, the hooks only make tiny holes that don't show when you remove them.
