Need travel insurance? Let us help.

Learn the Basics about your Destination

It's a big world with lots of places to see and even more things to do, but before you go, it's worth learning the basics about your destinations. There are different cultures, laws and customs. Some places require Visas, some places don't take credit cards, other places need inoculations. Always check with your travel agent or the government of the country you're visiting for the latest info.

Prepare your Home - Before you Leave

Remember to prepare your home for your trip: cancel deliveries, arrange for mail pick-up, unplug electrical items and dispose of perishable food.

Electrical Information

All computers are electronic devices and should be used only with a transformer in foreign countries. Wattage of the transformer will depend upon wattage of the battery charger or computer. View Electrical Information for foriegn countries.

Review Carry-On Restrictions

The restrictions for carry-on luggage sizes have become progressively tighter, particularly for charter airlines. Also be sure to measure and weigh your luggage before heading to the airport. Check also with carrier websites, as different airlines have different regulations.

Travel Documentation

• A parent travelling alone with children must have a notarized "permission" letter from the other parent or parents when entering most countries. This is a serious matter for most airline carriers who will not let you board without such documents.
• Travel insurance should not be an option, it should be a priority. $50,000 to $100,000 dollars in medical costs is common. Don't take the risk.
• A passport is recommended for all travel outside Canada.
• Remember to always take important documentation and medication with you as a carry-on, in case of lost or delayed baggage.

Travel Vaccinations

The Canadian Government recommends vaccinations for many of the sun destination countries. Check out our very own Travel Clinic for more information or call 204-982-9489.

Travel tips for the non-experienced and experienced traveller.

It seemed like only yesterday that in order to make your travel experience perfect, all you needed to bring was your ticket, passport, the right amount of clothing and all essential toiletries. But we know that's not the case. With more restrictions in airports and greater guidelines at customs, it can be overwhelming to prepare for a trip, let alone take one. But here at Journey's, we make it a privilege of ours to lend out a helping hand because we simply want to send nice people to nice places.
