Geld (Money) and Pass (Passport) and Notarized Permission Form:
-
Money
- Please be sure to try any ATM, Credit, and Debit cards in the US before you leave. It won’t be fun to find glitches in Europe!
- Notify your bank and credit card company that you are traveling abroad and tell them when. Some banks will freeze your funds if they see “suspicious” activity.
- Make sure money is in the correct account so that you can get at it!
- Leave your bank alternative contact information – eg. your parents – you’ll be hard to get a hold of in Germany/Austria!
- Know your daily limits! (Cash withdrawal limits are different than daily spending limits!)
- Know your PIN #’s – do not write them on the cards – leave them with your parents in the US as well.
- Travelers Checks – Avoid these at all costs if possible – it’s difficult to find anyone to accept them – even in the US.
- Your personal checkbook will NOT work in Europe.
-
Passports
- Herr Mick must have a photocopy of your passport before we leave. You also need to leave one with your parents.
- Passports must be carried with you at all times on the trip.
- It is recommended that you get a travel neck pouch or waist pouch to carry your passport and money in. You are not to carry your passport in your pockets – this is essential!
- Notarized Permission Forms
- Herr Mickelson MUST receive your notarized permission form before departure. This ensures we travel as a group.
-
Notarized Travel Form – REQUIRED – DO NOT SIGN UNTIL YOU ARE IN THE PRESENCE OF A NOTARY!
- Phone Info: Herr Mickelson’s number in Germany will be: 01578-5282584
Dial it as (from US): 011-49-1578-5282584
