Until now I’ve only visited US destinations, and am worried about medical coverage on my Asian trip next month. I need daily doses of four prescription meds, and worry about suddenly getting sick in a foreign city and needing a doctor or refill prescription. Suggestions? Mrs. LRMcR, Waco TX

A: First, be sure the current plan includes China. Check with your insurance company about any needed supplemental coverage. Also, before you go, fill all prescription meds in the event you run out, adding a week or so extras in case you’re delayed.

To play it safe, don’t get subscriptions filled in foreign countries where regulations aren’t too strict on retailers’ products. And, when you bring foreign-made meds back with you, be sure to declare them upon arrival to U.S. Customs, with a copy of your prescription and doctor’s note.

Actually it’s a recent sneaky photo by your travel4seniors.com of a casino repairman busy at work. Security guards grabbed me a moment later. Fortunately, I was let go with a warning. So, you can take this warning.

Despite all the stories and publicity showing happy winners, your chances of winning in a casino, whether at the wheel, cards, craps table or slot machine, are just about nil. Of course, rarely a few gamblers will go home with money. But the real average is that for every dollar you gamble at a casino, the return averages about 60 to 70¢.

Therefore, when the winnings are inevitably gambled back into the games for several hours and days, the results are empty pockets. Of course, along with the gambling, casino hotels offer luxury rooms, endless buffets, free booze, popular entertainment and more glitzy temptations to get you there.

When you visit a glamorous casino, do it with the determination that you’re there to have fun, no matter what the odds stacked against you. And you’re willing to gamble away the inheritance money your ungrateful kids and grandkids are greedily anticipating.

As improvements continue, there are more of the little devices to consider. They may cost from $50 to $250. For example, a new Japanese instant translator is called MUAMA Enence. With fingers on the mini-keyboard you can quickly turn your English sentence into over 40 languages.

While planning your next world venture to Japan, China, France, Germany or just about any other foreign country, check online for ads of the latest and most convenient instant translator models to carry along.
