Trips to the wilderness or developing countries may need to wait. Make sure you have a plan in place for any medical emergency [for you or your travel companion(s)] in place before you start your trip. Research hospital or urgent care facilities in the area. Also, check with your insurance company to ensure any medical care you need in your destination is covered and to what extent.
