This Week's
Feature Destination
The Cook Islands are comprised of 15 beautiful islands in
the heart of the South Pacific with just 14,000 residents. These unique and friendly Polynesians have their own

Top 10 Travel
Tips
1. Make sure you have a signed, valid passport (and
visas, if required). Also, before you go, fill in the emergency information page of your passport!
2. Read the Consular Information Sheets (and
Public Announcements or Travel Warnings, if applicable) for the countries you plan to visit.
3. Familiarize yourself with local laws and
customs of the countries to which you are traveling. Remember, your laws and rights do not follow you! While in
a foreign country, you are subject to its laws.
4. Make 2 copies of your passport identification
page. This will facilitate replacement if your passport is lost or stolen. Leave one copy at home with friends
or relatives. Carry the other with you in a separate place from your passport.
5. Leave a copy of your itinerary with family
or friends at home so that you can be contacted in case of an emergency.
6. Do not leave your luggage unattended in public
areas. Do not accept packages from strangers.
7. If you plan to stay abroad for more than
two weeks, upon arrival you should notify by phone or register in person with your embassy in the country you are
visiting. This will facilitate communication in case someone contacts the embassy looking for you.
8. To avoid being a target of crime, try not
to wear conspicuous clothing and expensive jewelry and do not carry excessive amounts of money or unnecessary credit
cards.
9. In order to avoid violating local laws,
deal only with authorized agents when you exchange money or purchase art or antiques.

appropriate embassy.
