Just as you do with extended hunting and
fishing trips, it’s especially important to take a
few precautions before going out of the country.
Furnish the itinerary to a friend or family member,
including flights, hotels and contact numbers.
Just as you do with extended hunting and
fishing trips, it’s especially important to take a
few precautions before going out of the country.
Furnish the itinerary to a friend or family member,
including flights, hotels and contact numbers. Go
to the U.S. State Department’s travel registration
web site (https://travelregistration.state.gov/ibrs/)
so your whereabouts are established if you have an
emergency or a natural disaster occurs – they cannot
assist you if they don’t know where you are. Other
things to do:
- U.S. citizens should visit www.state.gov and read the
Consular Information Sheets to see what you need
to visit your destination. Even the visa requirements
may vary based on the state from which you leave,
such as when traveling to Brazil.
- Make two photocopies of your passport ID page;
leave one copy at home where it can be easily
located and take along the other separate from your
actual passport.
- Make two photocopies and do the same with credit
cards, airline tickets and the fishing lodge reservation
confirmation.
- Snap pictures of jewelry and other valuables.
- Remember that the laws of the country you visit
apply, not the U.S. Constitution.
- Take along the contact info for the nearest U.S.
Embassy (http://usembassy.state.gov/) in case you
run into trouble.
