Went to the bank to make sure our cards were up to date for the trip. Our Credit Union likes to know if we are travelling. They stop payment on any suspicious or unusual transactions, so if they see a withdrawal from Estonia and we live in Australia, they are alerted and stop payment. New cards are ordered for our trip and are activated for the dates of travel and cancelled immediately when we come back to avoid fraud. Our old cards are then back in use. Cards to arrive in the next few days. Glad I thought to do this - could have been awkward.
Anyone have any last minute suggestions or advice?

Hi Kerrie,
ReplyDeleteMy best travel advice is to take your time to put away passports, tickets, money etc. especially at airports and stations. Don't do it on the run and risk losing something. You will be travelling with unfamiliar bags and backpacks.
Be mindful and appreciate the serendipity of unexpected pleasures.

Thanks Ros - good advice that we will take - and we will pack our Hong Kong travel cards away especially carefully and think of you when we do - special thanks.
