Passports are needed when you travel outside your home country.
Your passport should be valid for 6 months beyond the conclusion of your trip. You are responsible for obtaining all necessary visas prior to the departure of your tour.
Depending on your nationality, you may need visas to enter certain countries included on your tour. Please note that obtaining visas can take up to six weeks prior to your departure.Travel checklist
It is strongly advised that you consult your travel agent, and local Consulate or Embassy of the country you are visiting, well in advance to determine which visas you require and how to obtain them.

Newspaper…cancel your newspaper delivery for the duration of your trip or arrange with a neighbor to pick up your subscription from your property daily
Mail…arrange for a neighbor or a family member to pick up and hold your mail on a daily basis
Pets…ensure that your pets are going to be taken care of on your premises or that you have boarding arrangements for them for the duration of your trip or even a day longer in case of unforeseen delays
Lights…if you have a timer on your lights, ensure that you set it appropriately for both your outdoor and indoor lights. We have found that sundown to 5:00am for outdoor lights and sundown to 10:30pm for indoor lights are generally used settings. If you don’t have a timer and someone has access to your property, you may want them to manage the lights while you are away.

Thermostats…use your discretion and set your thermostat to a slightly less than comfortable temperature. This will not harm your pets and will not be uncomfortable when you arrive home. This will save you energy and money and will not take you long to re adjust your household temperature to a comfortable level.
Appliances…ensure that every appliance in the house is turned off. Unplug any small appliances you can i.e. hair dryers, toaster ovens etc.
Food and perishables…dispose of any perishable food items in your fridge that will not last the duration of your trip. Also, check for any expiration dates on food items i.e. milk, creams etc
If possible, have your neighbors either park your vehicle in a different spot on your driveway each evening. If your car is stored in your garage, have your neighbors park their vehicle on your driveway each evening. This will avoid any extra attention being paid to your property while no one is at home.
Other Administrative and Financial…have all of your bills been paid to date? You don’t want any surprises when you get home. Are all of your affairs at work in order…voicemail changed, email on out of office response(if applicable)
