Long before you pack your
suitcase or schedule Uber or Lyft to take you to the airport, do a quick check
of some dates that matter – expiration dates that is. When do your bank/ATM card, credit cards and
passport expire?
Don’t miss this step and find
yourself standing at an ATM trying withdraw dollars, euros, Kenyan shillings,
Icelandic krona or Peruvian sol only to discover that your card expired the day
before. Avoid the unhappy moment at the
end of dinner when your credit card is denied because it expired a week ago. No cash, no credit, no fun.
Even worse is being stopped
at passport control because your passport expires too close to your departure
(not arrival) from your destination.
Think about flying across the world to Belgium, Vietnam, Costa Rica,
Rwanda (or any of the twenty plus countries listed in this guide: https://www.uspassporthelpguide.com/six-months-validity-rule - to discover that there’s less than six months left
on your passport and you can’t enter the country. It happens – hopefully not to you.
Be a world wise traveler – Check those dates.
