Ensuring you have travel insurance, necessary vaccinations, essential supplies including medications and prescriptions and good footwear is essential. You may also want to consider getting a pair of compression stockings if you have blood circulation problems. This will encourage blood flow during periods of inactivity – such as a long airplane flight or car ride.
