Travelling tips for sea travelers
Wednesday, November 10th, 2010
a) Register your travel plans with the State Department through a free online service at https://travelregistration.state.gov. This will help in contacting you if there is a family emergency in the U.S., or if there is a crisis where you are traveling.
b) Sign your passport, and fill in the emergency information: Make sure you have a signed, valid passport, and a visa, and fill in the emergency information page of your passport.
c) Check your overseas medical insurance coverage: Ask your medical insurance company if your policy applies overseas, and if it covers emergency expenses such as medical evacuation. If it does not, consider supplemental insurance.
