Twenty Useful Guidelines (Saved Much Unnecessary Headaches)

“Some countries & airlines still require Covid Test. Pls check & confirm, and not assume anything.”
Masks required.
Global Entry is helpful, but only for domestic US flights. It reduces wait-in-line time and its value ($100/5 yrs) makes it a worthwhile investment.
Relax!; & Pray — always.
Practice “situation awareness” = be aware of what/who is around you.
Be prompt & allow extra time. You will need it.
During longer-than-normal layovers, take a book, glance thru your photo album, and pray for the ones that come before you. That’s Spirit-specialty.
Hydrate w/ water not soft drinks; Take electrolyte hydration packs w/ you when possible.
Carry Vaccination card/proof.
Be sure your passport is no less than 6 months to expire.
About passports, be sure to have at least 6 empty pages.
If you travel overseas a good bit and need a new passport, it’s worth it to get one with more pages; don’t be cheap 🙂
If you apply for E-visa online from your device, snap a copy of your pretty face and the passport page. Be sure it’s less than 250k in size. Some free apps can reduce the size.
Prepare passport face & boarding pass together to hand to agent before you board. Needed but not exciting job, and they can be easily irritated.
Be humble, thankful, & smile (genuinely, preferred).
Express appreciation, helps good attitude as person you speak to is required to smile, but you’re not.
When in public, plan your path wherever you are before walking 🙂
Expect disappointment but remember Rom 8:28.
Refrain from complaining, no not once. Abba knows.
Lastly, when in the field, remember that you serve the King of kings among people who live in those “terrible” situations and conditions every day of their lives. Keep the cross of Jesus as your measuring stick and standard.
