  • Traveling with jewelry

    Considering the type and amount of jewelry that we travel with is both economic and safe. Whether you are traveling to a third world country or right here in the United States, we are judged by the jewelry that we wear among many other things. The first thing a person thinks standing in line next to someone with a flashy Rolex and a huge 2-carat shiny ring is money is no object to that person. Not only is it not a good idea to travel with such flashy and expensive jewelry, but it also is not safe either.

    Travel With A Fairfield Car Service

    Boarding-airplane-imageThere are documentaries and horrible stories surrounding the dangers of traveling and adding fine jewelry lures those stories a little closer to the traveler. If you absolutely must travel with your Rolex or diamond ring, consider concealing those expensive items until you get to your destination or just leave them at home all together to avoid losing them while so far away from home.

    So, if you are one of those people that feel naked without their jewelry, I have 2 sets of rules for you. Travel with jewelry that you won’t mind losing and travel with a small amount of jewelry. The jewelry selection could include the day to day jewelry that goes with just about every outfit that you have packed.

    Stay Safe With Limousines of Connecticut

    Once you have chosen the selection of jewelry that you will be bringing with you on your vacation, it is time to properly pack it. Most people just think that you can just grab a zip-lock bag and throw all of your jewelry in there and call it a day. Then you get to your destination and your necklace is tangled and your earring is stuck inside your necklace. Limousine of Connecticut is here to make life a little easier for you, one travel hack at a time.

    • Traveling-with -jewelry-imageNecklaces- Using the straw method, you are sure to have a tangle-free necklace by the time you touch down. Loop one end of the necklace through the straw and fasten the clasp.
    • Bracelets- For bracelets, roll up a washcloth or small hand towel and slide the bracelets in order around the towel. Once completed, tuck the entire towel into a zip-lock bag to keep the bracelets intact.
    • Earrings- If only bringing a few pairs, clip them onto a button to make it easier to locate them and place them inside a zip-lock bag. You could also use a cut-out cardboard and stick them on there and place them flat in your suitcase.

  • Travel International With Limousines of Connecticut

    You’ll have plenty of fun from exploring new terrain to experiencing local foods. Aside from all of the fun you’ll have, staying safe is paramount when it comes to traveling abroad. With careful planning and being aware of certain safety precautions, you can have a wonderful trip. Follow the safety tips below to ensure your family stays safe while exploring a new country.

    Travel Abroad With A Norwalk Limo

    Research Your Destination

    Passport-on-map-imagePrior to traveling internationally, it’s best to do some research. Find out local laws, customs, medical care, and visa requirements. Additionally, you’ll want to make sure there aren’t any travel warnings or travel alerts, which could hinder your plans. Plan your Norwalk car service ahead of time so that you don’t get stuck at the last minute with no ride and end up missing your flight.

    Also, make sure you bring contact information for the closest U.S. consulate or embassy. They’ll be able to help you in the event of an emergency 24/7.

    Consider Travel Insurance

    Because accidents can happen unexpectedly, it’s smart to purchase travel insurance prior to your vacation. Most travel insurance policies will cover canceled trips, medical emergencies, and lost bags. It’s also a good idea to consider adding coverage for life insurance, rental car collision, and identity theft.

    Pack Extra Prescription Medications

    Medical laws abroad are different than that of the U.S., so be sure to pack extra prescription medications. You don’t want to be in a different country unable to take your medicine or fill a prescription. Prior to your trip, research the closest medical center or hospital in the event you do forget your medication.

    Notify Your Bank

    When traveling, it’s crucial to have money readily available in the event of an emergency, so be sure to notify your bank of your travel plans. Make sure to tell them where you’re traveling to and how long you’ll be out of the country.

    Share Your Itinerary/Travel Plans

    When traveling outside of the country, it’s always a good idea to share your itinerary and plans with family and friends. In the event of an emergency back home, they’ll know how to contact you if they can’t get a hold of you.

    General Security Tips

    Limousines-Of-Connecticut-Car-Service-ImageTo avoid becoming a victim of crime, follow these general security tips:

    • Don’t explore alone
    • Withdraw money during daylight hours only
    • Don’t leave valuables in your rental car
    • Only take well-traveled streets
