Call 865-577-3137 or 888-844-0510 For Information and Reservations 

1. Check passport to be sure that it is current.
2. Check all documents and make sure that all information is correct and names on travel documents match the name on your passport.
3. Make copies of your passport and both sides of all credit cards that you are carrying with you. Put a copy in a separate bag from the the originals or have your traveling partner carry yours and you carry theirs. Also leave copies with someone at home in case of loss or theft.
4. Never pack any travel documents, passports or prescription medications in your luggage.
5. In addition to taking extra prescription medications with you, it is good to carry something for pain, upset stomachs, diarrhea and colds, coughs and sinus problems.
6. I always suggest that when traveling outside the country, purchase an international calling card for calls back home. Be sure you get the country code to call FROM the countries you are visiting.
7. If you are traveling out of the country it is always a good idea to pack at least one washcloth, they are not supplied in most hotels in Europe.
8. Pack extra zip lock baggies.
   • Small baggies are great for little snacks while on day trips or small bottles that might leak
   • Remember that only 3 oz. of liquids, lotion or gels are allowed to be carried on the plane. They must be in a quart size zip lock baggie. Always carry extra quart size baggies as they are also great for snacks and other small items that you want to keep accessible. You need to be aware that if you purchase duty free liquids such as liquors, perfume or cosmetics and are making a connection to a domestic flight after arrival in USA and customs and immigration clearance, any liquids, lotions or gels must be no more than 3 oz and contained in the one quart size zipped baggie or put into your checked luggage to prevent being confiscated by TSA when going through security following the recheck of your luggage on your domestic flight.
   • Large baggies are good for wet swim suits, clothing or wet muddy shoes. It is also a good idea to put your checked cosmetics inside a sealed baggie as pressurization on the plane can cause some bottles to leak.
9. Be sure to take plug adapters when traveling outside the US and on some ships. Current converters  may also be needed outside the US. Some electrical appliances and most camera and computer AC/DC chargers have this ability, but be sure to check so you don't burn up you appliance. If they have this they can be used with only a plug adapter. If you do not have a dual voltage appliance and the appliance uses less than 50 watts, it is very important to have the correct current converter. Things like curling irons and battery chargers fall into this category. Hairdryers, travel irons and other appliances that use higher watts need a converter for 50 watts or more.
10.  In addition to the wonderful noise canceling headsets, I take saline nose spray on the plane. The air is extremely drying (around 2% humidity) and dry nasal passages can end up as a sinus problem. And always drink lots of water. There's no better way to ruin a wonderful vacation than to get sick. 
11. DON'T FORGET TO BUY TRAVEL INSURANCE!
