Staying Secure
When You Arrive
continued from Romantic
Travel in High Security Times
You've planned the honeymoon
of your dreams and now you're on the road, ready to live out the fantasy
you've been planning for months.
While the two of you have
far more interesting things to focus on that security, you want to take
certain precautions so that you can put that worry largely out of sight,
freeing up your mind to concentrate on each other and a wonderful vacation.
Here are some steps to take to make sure you have a safe honeymoon or
getaway:
Stay away from large
gatherings including political events, protests, etc.
Know the laws in the
land you're traveling. Did you know that it's illegal to take photos
of bridges and airports in some countries due to security concerns?
Little things like that can definitely spoil a trip. Know before you
go.
Report
any unattended baggage. Yes, you've heard it over the airport speakers
a million times before, but this is an important one!
Don't advertise your
nationality. On our first trip to Egypt, we were advised to leave
Nikes, Levis, and other readily identifiable American brands at home.
We won't even talk about red, white, and blue clothing. While standing
in airport lines, keep your passport in your purse until you need it.
And, perhaps most importantly, don't speak too loudly. An American accent
is easier to point out than Nikes and far more telling.
