23 nmdental.org By AHI Travel People travel for a variety of reasons: to learn, to appreciate, to enrich, and to transform. Travel relaxes your mind, allowing you to reflect on personal goals and interests and take part in fulfilling activities. Best of all, travel offers opportunities for discovery and immersion into local environments, letting you return home with new insights and fresh perspectives. AHI Travel strives to create small- group programs that enrich lives and provide transformative experiences by connecting you with the people, places and cultures of the world. Their innovative land and cruise programs focus on a strong educational component across dozens of countries on five continents and their carefully planned itineraries cater to a variety of preferences and needs. Plus, group travel is an excellent way to explore the world with like- minded travelers and experience the ease and security of traveling with an expert. Prepare for your adventure by following a few safety and packing suggestions: 1. Before leaving, send electronic copies of your passport, health insurance card, tickets, immunization record, travel insurance and visas to your email account. 2. Schedule a physical to guarantee you are healthy enough to travel abroad and learn about any health concerns of your destination. 3. Place over-the-counter medications in your carry-on bag and pack an assortment of layers to accommodate for fluctuating temperatures. 4. Overseas, carry a business card from your hotel so the information is on hand and keep your electronics and valuables to a minimum while sightseeing. A few simple steps can help ensure you have a safe and comfortable travel experience. NMDA members receive an early booking discount of $250 per person when booking a trip through AHI.
