Travellers who are not US or UK residents should always check the websites of their own Government for the latest advice and information before they go on vacation.
US citizens should check the Federal Government websites. The following links may help but - as web addresses can change without notice - please use a search engine if the links do not operate as expected.
You should properly check ...

- any travel warnings
Make sure that your passport and other travel documents (visas, etc) are up to date and that there is sufficient time left on the passport when you return (several months are usually required but check with your own Government)
