TRAVEL TIPS FOR RUNNERS

• Always pack your running gear in your carry-on luggage.
• For overnight flights, buy an inflatable pillow and book a window seat. You can build a nice little nest for yourself, even in coach class.
• Drink plenty of water to prevent dehydration.
• Get up and walk around or stretch during the flight.
• Get an electronic airline ticket. If you lose it, there is no replacement fee. If you lose a printed ticket, it will cost as much as $100 for a replacement.
• Purchase travel insurance. It’s an inexpensive form of peace of mind.
• Don't buy foreign currency in the United States. You can get a much better rate in the destination country, at a bank or airport ATM which are very common in most countries.
• Always keep your passport current and be sure that it expires no sooner than three months after your return date. Make a copy and put it in your wallet or toiletries kit in case you should lose the original. Leave a copy at home with a friend or relative.
• Bring a small bottle of Woolite to use for washing your running gear in cold water in a bathroom sink.
• Get the proper electric current adapter and conversion kit for the country you are visiting.
