Planning to Travel in 2016? Make Sure You’ve Got Your Medical Records On-Hand First

The start of the new year prompts many people to reflect on the past year and dream about what they’d like to do in the coming one. Now is a great time to start saving those pennies to do something big—before you know it, they’ll add up to a substantial amount of money. Dream big for 2016!

Now is the time

Can you believe that 2016 is just a couple weeks away? It seems like we just started 2015! But now that you realize how quickly time can fly by, don’t waste another minute by NOT living your dreams. If not now, when?

Some extra $$

Cut out all the little expenses—yes, we’re looking at you, $4 latte and $200 designer jeans—that aren’t really necessary, and suddenly you’ll notice a nice little cushion in your bank account. So awesome! What are you going to do with it?

Dream big

How about buying a plane ticket to somewhere you’ve always wanted to go? Pick somewhere that’s been on your travel wish list for years—now is the time to take the bull by the horns and go for it. Perhaps Brazil, Uganda, Italy, or even somewhere a little closer to home—Canada or Mexico. Wherever you choose to travel, you can plan on having an adventure. It’s a cliché because it’s true—expect the unexpected! That’s where so much of the fun of travel lies.

Be practical too

But before you back your bags and hit the road, make sure you take care of all the essential practical considerations at home. Get a cat sitter to look in on Fluffy every day and pick up your mail, put your “away” message on your work email, and be sure to tell your friends and family that you’ll be unplugging for awhile during your trip so they won’t worry when you don’t respond to phone calls or texts.

Don’t forget one more key task to take care of before you say “see you later” to your home—get your medical records in order. Traveling with your medical records is highly recommended in case any kind of emergency comes up. Hey you never know! Hopefully nothing will happen, but it’s good to be prepared, just in case, when you’re far away from your primary doctor. This is particularly important if you have any allergies, diseases, medical conditions, or recent surgeries. If a complication arises, you want to be sure anyone who is providing you with medical care knows your full history.
