Other Notes:

Call your bank and credit card companies to inform them you will be out of the country and using your cards abroad, so they don’t freeze them.

At LAX, for example, you have to walk outside to the international terminal, or take a bus there. You may consider looking up the layouts of the airports you will be using in advance.

You may need a power adapter in order for your plugs to fit. You can probably get them there, but you may want to buy one here before the trip. http://www.world-import.com/plugs.htm
