On Request

Know Before You Go

Although most of the planning and preparation is taken care of for you, there are still a few things you should know and some details you should take care of to ensure your comfort, safety and peace of mind. Please review the following information before your departure to ensure that any surprises along the way will only be pleasant ones.

Passports and Visas

Learn more about the passport and visas regulations related to your trip.

It is each traveler's responsibility to have a passport valid for at least 6 months from the date of departure and a visa if required. Please check the information at www.dalatour.com/passports-visas.html�for the specific country/region you are visiting for more details. Passengers who are not U.S. citizens must check with the respective consulate or a visa agency to determine what personal identification is required. Passengers who enter, leave and then re-enter the same country on their itinerary should check if they require a double-entry visa. Passport applications are available at most U.S. Post Offices, as well as at regional Passport Agencies.

Trip Preparation

A little pre-planning can make your trip go a lot smoother. Several weeks before your trip, make a list of what you will need to take with you. Make sure your personal documents (passports, visas) are in order and that you have enough prescription medications to last through the trip. We suggest that you make photocopies of passports, visas, and any other important travel documents and pack them separately from the originals. Pack a list of medications including dosage and generic names. If you lose the originals while traveling, you'll have copies for easier reporting and replacement. We recommend that you pack a portable alarm clock.

Making Telephone Calls from One Country to Another

When dialing a number from one country to another, you should proceed as follows: dial your country's Exit Code + destination Country Code + Phone Number.
For most countries, the exit code is 00. Exceptions include the USA and Canada (011), Hong Kong and Cambodia (001), Australia (0011), and Russia (8 Pause 10*). For Brazil, please consult with the local telephone company. If the international number you wish to call starts with a 0 (zero), you must drop this starting digit when dialing the number.�

Health Information

Check with your personal physician for the latest overseas travel health information, or contact the Center for Disease Control's travelers' hotline at 404-332-4559, web site www.cdc.gov.

Climate & Clothing

Alaska�- There is a wide range of weather in Alaska. The average temperature in summer is 60-65°F degrees during the day. The temperature falls to around 45-50°F overnight. May and September tend to be below these averages, though the temperature is still generally comfortable for traveling.

Spring and Fall: 30°F�50°F; Summer: 50°F�70°F; Winter: 0°F�25°F. Bring comfortable walking and sturdy shoes, a sweater, clothes you can layer, an all-weather jacket, gloves, and a hat. Sunglasses and binoculars are also recommended.

Please be aware that due to its high latitude Alaska experiences months of extended daylight, and during the summer there are periods when the sun does not ever fully set. Most visitors find this phenomenon beautiful and fascinating, but a sleep mask is advisable for travelers who prefer sleeping in complete darkness.
