Apparently people make the most mistakes while on vacation on their first 72 hours, why is that ?
Ninety
of the people will commit a faux pas when they arrive. The first thing normally, is when you arrive from the plane trip with your
and everything, and then at the hotel, before
, they give you the first drink, the welcome drink with
in it and
and then that's it, you may already be
. After that, you go to the
, it looks just like at home or even better, so you forget about all the
that you should take, and of course, you‘re
, so you need to drink something, it’s hot you welcome ice cubes that you should
avoid, especially when the
staff at the hotel tell you that 'Oh! no it’s
, don't worry!' it is
not, even in the best conditions.
You're saying don't drink the water and don't
the ice, what do we do then ?
Then you just need to drink
water, bottle water, any carbohydrated drinks, beer why not, and anything that is
so fruit juice in a
, fruit juice in a bottle are safe.
So you're saying to
these lovely drinks that we've got behind us?
Exactly, unfortunately, unless you avoid the ice in it, so if it’s made from a prepared cocktail that is in a fridge, and then you just
pour it in your glass you just ask no ice please and then you‘re fine.
Finally, what are some
that people should take to make sure they have a great vacation ?
They should get
before they go, they should see a family
or an expert in travel medecine to get the
proper vaccines, the proper recommendations and of course some
prescriptions, you should read about the
, which is so easy now with the web, you can get all sort of information with excellent websites. You should also be concerned with any activities that you get involved with because
is the number one reason for
for most young travelers, car accidents and
are the number one cause of death. You should try to
refrain from drinking too much, it doesn't mean that drinking people go away to have fun to get on a party, it's fine, but be careful with how much you take and, if you plan to have a lot of fun, bring what is required to protect yourself from
like HIV which is quite prevalent in the Carribeans and of course other sexually transmitted disease.
Thank you very much.
