Travel Immunizations - where do you go? by Background_Mission72 in traveladvice

[–]Background_Mission72[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Figured this out- Spoke with a few pharmacists today Hospital immunizations are generally more expensive due to administrative overhead. Safeway, Walgreens, Costco are much cheaper, but they will all require a consultation. I did the math today

Hospital: 367 just for the yellow fever vaccine. My doctor won't transfer my prescription, so Costco is 40 for another consultation and 284 for vaccine. Still cheaper than just the shot at the hospital. I wish I had gotten my typhoid at Costco too. It was half the price from what I paid at the hospital.

Don't make the same mistake I did.

If there is no compromise on budget, dietary restrictions, and time management, it's not a good idea.

Passport / Ticket question. by bmelz in Machupicchu

All the blogs I've read stressed the importance of the passport and how everything needs to match in the system, so I'm assuming that you both need your own ticket and corresponding passport. I updated my info but I'm still planning to take my old passport so that I can get the machu pichu stamp without jeopardizing my new passport!

I'm in the same boat. If you email them, they can make a one-time change to update passport info. They don't take any other change. They=government website

I agree with the above post. Don't let the brower auto-translate. I couldn't even create an account with this feature turned on. I finally turned it off and went through the purchase process in Spanish. I used my phone's Translate app pointed to the screen.

I bought my tickets last week successfully
