How to add safety measures to you honeymoon when traveling outside the U.S.
The weddings over and now its time for the two of you to relax and enjoy the beginning of married life together on your awesome honeymoon. With many details planned for the wedding day, the honeymoon planning tends to lack a bit of details. When traveling to parts of the world undiscovered by the two of you, once arriving to your lavish destination be sure to take some of these measures.
1)Check with concierge before leaving the resort, get directions, a cab or additional information like how's the neighborhood before leaving to sight see. Ask for details to be safe such has high crime areas on the map. Ask for recommendations for restaurants and other sightseeing areas.
2) Always go in public in pairs, don't just one of you go into a store and leave the other standing there on the street. A lot could happen in that short time.
3) Know where the U.S. embassy is if traveling abroad.
4) Google for scams or tourist traps for that area before you make your reservations and refresh them in your mind before arriving.
5) Call someone at home to check in daily. It may seem motherly, but if parents know that they should expect a call, then if something happens such as a car accident or hotel fire, they know they should call/text you if they haven't heard from one of you. Don't rely on text messages or emails from smart phones if for some reason you were robbed then they could reply and your parents would think it was you.
6) Use traveler checks or Visa/MasterCard for secure purchases. Check to make sure you have them before and after you leave your room.
7) Keep some money on your person just not in your clothing or pursue in case you are robbed and don't know it until you reach for your wallet.
8)Call your credit card companies to let them know you are traveling and to where. This will help so the card company will not freeze your card, thinking it is stolen. You will be able to have full access in using your card without limitations. If you run into a big purchase that is a must have you are able to buy it.
We hope that you find these tips helpful and have that fabulous honeymoon hassle free!
