Phones and Call Boxes

The first thing we all want to do when we get to our holiday destination is call home, to let everyone know we arrived safely. An easy way to do this is by using a telephone card, these are readily available and can be purchased online and from telephone companies. They should be able to provide you with information about prices, sales locations in the UK/United States and ordering the service by telephone. If you decide to purchase a pre-paid telephone card, be sure that the card you choose will work in the United States.

Sun Care and Dehydration

A healthy glow makes us all feel great, but make sure you don't overdo it! Even when it's cloudy and overcast the sun is still strong enough to blister, especially, pale, freckled and baby soft skin. Babies and children are particularly susceptible to sunburn, high factor sun protection (25+) and plenty of liquids are essential. Avoid the midday sun and take it easy (remember you are on holiday), wear a hat, light clothing and drink plenty. Sun Stroke and dehydration can lead to hospitalisation, symptoms include extreme headaches, hot and cold flushes, rash, vomiting...don't ruin your holiday.

In the event of the loss or theft of your passport while you are out of the UK, contact the nearest British Consulate or Embassy who will be able to advise you.
