Ideally, your passport should be on your person at all times. Please be “street-smart” and don’t wave it around for all to see. Photocopies of the passport should be packed in your suitcase, available in your e-mail and also Incantato should have a copy as well.

Do you have recommendations or suggestions on the type of power adapter needed and what wattage?
Electricity in most European countries comes out of the wall socket at 220 volts alternating at a 50 cycles per second. In the US, electricity comes out of the wall socket at 110 volts, alternating at 60 cycles per second. Not only the voltages and frequencies, but the sockets themselves are different. Adapters and converters may be found at Target, Walmart or radio shack.

What has the best exchange rate, using a debit card to pull money out or exchanging US currency?
By far the best way is to use your debit card. Most banks only charge around $2 per withdraw and they also take care of the exchange rate for you. You do need a 4 digit pin and also let your bank know that you are travelling abroad. DO NOT BRING TRAVELLERS' CHEQUES!
What is the approximate exchange rate right now?
It’s about $1 to 0,78 EUR, $1 to 225,93 Hungarian Forint and $ 1 to 19,93 Czech Crown. But both in Czech Republic and Hungary they take Euro, so it is not necessery to change here.

If needed, is there laundry service?
It’s really expensive to do laundry overseas as it is dry-cleaning only. There are no irons in the hotel room.
