[quote=Anonymous]Long story, but I'll be traveling to Slovenia later this month. I've never traveled internationally & I've rarely flown anywhere for that matter. What do I need to know, at the *most basic* level?

Got a passport recently, will take driver's license too. The trip involves several meetings, so dress code has been set as "business casual" most days. I know enough to arrive at airports early (I'll be dropped-off, so no parking concerns). Thought I should check airline websites for most-current carry-on restrictions, luggage restrictions, liquid restrictions (like shampoo). Calling my cell phone provider to get International Service set up. No meds or anything I have to take with me. I've read that temps should be in the 60s-70s while I'm there.

Should I check with my bank to see if I can get Slovenia's currency while still in the US? Should I get AmEx Travelers Cheques?

I've been told that access to a washing machine may be limited or "very expensive." I was told I'd probably need to wash clothes in the bathtub! WTH?! Do I take detergent for that? Seems pretty extreme.

I'll be more or less on my own for the trip & don't want to overlook something critical. Advice at the most basic level would truly be appreciated. Thanks.[/quote]
