Whether you are traveling for business or leisure, advanced planning is key. Use these travel tips for a successful visit:
When making reservations (hotel, airlines, car rental agencies, etc.), clearly state what accommodations you require. Contact attractions and venues to find out if they meet your specific needs.
Pack enough prescription medication(s) to last throughout your entire trip. Bring medication(s) in your carry-on bag, as checked baggage can occasionally go missing. And, carry your prescription medication(s) in their labeled containers, not in a pill pack.
Have maintenance done on your assistive equipment before leaving on your trip to ensure that everything is in working order.
Talk to your veterinarian about traveling with a dog before you leave on your trip. You may also want to check with the hotel to be sure that there will be an adequate area for your dog to relieve itself.
