Tokyo, Japan Business Travel Resource Guide
So you’re going to Tokyo for work and you’re not sure what to expect? Here are some tips.
From most international destinations, you’ll be flying in to the Narita International Airport, which is an hour to an hour and a half away from the city. The airport is well connected to the city with buses and trains. Taxis are available, but are VERY expensive due to the distance from the city. Shared taxis are not available, and the passenger WILL be required to pay the tolls for the toll roads in addition to the fare.
Before you leave, check the health info at the CDC Page and check with your travel doctor for any vaccinations that may be recommended and updated health information. You should be fine as long as you stay in the city.
The currency is the Yen. You can check conversion rates here.

Seattle, Washington
Seattle, Washington is the iconic city of the Pacific Northwest. Home of the Space Needle, Grunge Music and Starbucks, I was excited to finally check the city out. There are so many things to do in this city, it’s hard to know where to start. Take it a little bit at a time - the city is pretty manageable.

Lima, Peru Business Travel Resource Guide
So you’re going to Lima for work and you’re not sure what to expect? Here are some tips.
From most international destinations, you’ll be flying in to the Aeropuerto Internacional Jorge Chávez, 16km from the city. Be sure to get an official taxi from the airport. Most hotels offer taxi service, so it may be a good idea to book through them. Taxi Tips: Check the drivers ID (to make sure they work for the company they say they represent), don’t put your money in the trunk (the driver can drive away when you get out of the car to get your bag), sit in the front seat (it makes you look like less of a tourist) and DO NOT put your purse or bag in the seat next to your or your lap (someone may break out the window and take off with your bag). No kidding, the last one happened to me about a year ago.
Before you leave, check the health info at the CDC page and check with your travel doctor for any vaccinations that may be recommended and updated health information. Malaria medication isn’t needed in the city, but may be if you visit other parts of the country. The Yellow Fever vaccination isn’t required for travel between Peru and the US, but may be needed if you plan to visit other countries in South America.

Business Travel Resource Guide - Bangkok, Thailand
So you’re going to Bangkok for work and you’re not sure what to expect? First of all, I LOVE Thailand and I’m a little jealous. Here are some tips.
From most international destinations, you’ll be flying in to the spanking new Suvarnabhumi Airport, 30km east of Bangkok. You can get a “Limo” at the airport, which will be a taxi not a limo. Larger hotels provide service at rates slightly lower than those offered at the airport. A little weird thing that will happen in Thailand that you’d never encounter in the states - you’ll have to pay the tolls for your taxi.
Before you leave, check the health info at the CDC Page and check with your travel doctor for any vaccinations you may need and updated health information. You will need malaria medication and a Thyphoid fever shot. I’ve taken the once a week Larium on trips in the past. Neither are required for entry, but definitely a good idea. You can find a certified travel doctor by contacting the health department in your state.
The currency is the Baht, you can check conversion rates here.
