Frequently Asked Questions

Is the airline ticket included on the price?
No, airline tickets are extra.

Will we need to bring a hairdryer or an electrical adapter for charging a camera battery with us?
Electric current varies throughout the world and can affect your small appliances, such as hair dryers and electric shavers. The voltage in the countries we will visit is 220V.  Plugs are either the Continental European type with two round pins or the English type with a square plug. Your appliances may be plugged into a European outlet with an adaptor. Some electric devices like laptops, shavers and camera chargers work both 100V and 220V.   Most of the hotels where we will be staying provide hair dryers, so DO NOT take yours.  Please verify your electrical equipment if its compatible with the 220 V.  If it is, all you need is a plug converter.  If it is not, then check with the manufacturer to see if you can use an electrical adapter.

Should we bring travel check or cash?  
Cash in fine as long as you carry it in a safe place, like money belts. Travelers checks, if lost or stolen, can be replaced. Keep your receipt and the list of checks that shows which ones you have used, in a place separate from the checks themselves. And keep a copy of them at home.

Are credit cards accepted?
Major credit cards are accepted by shops and restaurants.  Visa and MasterCard are the most widely accepted.  Discover is not accepted.

Medicines & Vitamins.  I have heard that all pills must be in there original containers.  Since vitamin tablets come in bottles the size of a small auto, how do we deal with this.  We like to carry them in the little seven day  containers.  How does customs handle this?
Yes, because of strict drug laws in some countries, drugs you take on doctor's orders should be carried in their original container showing the prescription label. Remember, you only go through customs in the first country of entrance to the European Community. Once in Europe, you can change them to your seven day pack containers

Are there any rules about what you can buy and bring back?
U.S. residents are granted a tax exception on articles totaling $ 400.00.
