Important Links

The Internet - like the planet itself - is full of interesting travel-related information.  From the trivial to the informative to the very serious, chances are you'll find it online.   I have compiled a list of useful links for my customers.  I share some of the most important ones below, where you may want to start your online research for your next trip!  Please note - these links are provided as a courtesy only and I cannot be held responsible for any missing, outdated or inaccurate information.

 

Especially For Canadians

• Canadian Passport Office - how, where and how much?
• Travel Health Information - please, come back at least as healthy as you left
• International Association for Medical Assistance to Travellers
• Canadian Government travel advisories - in both Official Languages
• Canadian Missions Abroad - home away from home
• Yahoo's List of Foreign Embassies and Missions in Canada
• Quick Foreign Exchange converter

Don't forget to

• check with your local police force for tips on protecting your home while you're away
• stop delivery of your newspaper - or have someone you trust pick it your paper daily
• hire a reliable neighbourhood student or handy-person to rake your leaves, water your lawn or shovel your snow while away
• ask your telephone long distance provider how to call home from abroad

• give your contact details while abroad to someone you trust at home, and to your travel agent
