1. Bring gum. Ears gonna pop.
2. Get ready for sexual pat downs that aren't even effective.
3. If a whistleblower is on the plane, it might "disappear into the ocean".
4. Airline food sucks.
5. Views are gonna rock.
6. Enjoy your flight and trip.

On the plane drink tons of water to maintain hydration. Don't overpack. On the ground keep $, passport & impt papers in a money pouch inside your clothes. Dress normally. Don't act weird or dorky. Pack nuts of some kind for quick energy. Have fun!

I always pack a few empty plastic grocery bags. Throughout my trip I put my dirty clothes in them so that in my suitcase my clean clothes don't touch the dirty ones.

Use the bathroom before getting off the plane. Getting thru customs can take a long time. Trying to get out of line to go to a bathroom is a major red flag.if your not allergic to it & don't hate it pack peanut butter.

If you know any Spanish, use it! Even if you speak horribly, people will respect you for making an attempt; they will usually switch to English for you if they know it.
Ask locals for restaurant recommendations, and waiters for food recommendations.

Carry small sums of money in small denominations. Drink bottled water. If you're nervous about flying take some Tylenol PM about 30 minutes before your flight.

If you have never travelled out of the US and really need advice? Get your act together, man up, figure it out. People like you should NOT travel any further than your own city limits

Of you are not too very tall on your first flight request a window seat. After that ask for an isle of volunteer for the emergency exit row. Go online to find out what all the TSA Nazis will not let you take with you on the plane. Plainly mark your

Pack light, you can always send out laundry.
Fill out the customs forms on the plan as soon as they pass them out.
Melatonin is a great way to get some sleep on the plane without the grogginess of sleeping pills

I don't know about Colombia specifically, but you should probably bring toilet paper, flip flops and a pocket knife.
The flip-flops can be extremely versatile in hot weather and you can wear them in the shower if it is communal.
