Travel Reference
In-Depth Information
ical certificate of your fitness to travel, provided by your doctor, can be extremely useful;
some airlines or insurance companies may insist on it.
Be sure to carry your complete supply of
medications
with you whenever you travel (in-
cluding on buses and planes), in case of loss or theft. It's also a good idea to carry a doctor's
letter about your drugs prescriptions with you at all times, particularly when passing through
customs at Ngurah Rai or Selaparang airports, as this will ensure you don't get hauled up
for narcotics transgressions. Assume that if anything happens to equipment, such as a wheel-
chair, spares will be hard to find, and a small repair kit may well come in very handy.
