ON a recent travel tour to the US, an elderly couple travelled from the west coast to ending in New York on the West Coast. It lasted for 4 ½ weeks. They had an exceptional time. What made it that much better, they didn’t get sick once unlike many of the older pensioners on the trip. Most had some form of gastro for several days. They put it down to use the Aqua Safe Bottle+. The AquaSafeBottle takes out not only bacteria to 99.9999% it also takes out protozoa’s to 99.9999% and viruses to 99.99%. Read More...

General Travel Tips
Things you don’t want to learn the hard way;
- When you book your travel online – check that you have the right amount of time on your passport before it expires, not all countries are the same!! You could get to the airport and not be allowed on the fight.
- Do you need a return flight booked to exit your country? This can create issues with customs.
- Do have the recommended vaccines for the area that you are travelling to.
- Take a SafeAquaStraw.
- Take anti-nausea and anti-diarrhea medication.
- Any prescription medication that you take regularly, make sure you have either, a copy of the prescription, or a letter from your Doctor/Specialist.
- Take enough medication for the entire trip.
- Do not buy anything in pharmacy in a foreign country that you do not have a prescription for, that you know is prescription medication, even though the pharmacy is happy to sell it to you.
- Make sure that you carry-on luggage is free of sharps and fluids over 50mls. This means you cannot take gifts through the customs point – it does not matter how pretty the gift wrapping is.
- Have the right travel insurance for you and your trip. Know what documentation you need for a claim – always easier to get at the time!
- Give family/friend a copy of your itinerary and let them know if plans change. If Australian resident, register with Smartraveller;
