Here are some things you must keep in mind when you travel specially to Central America to keep in mind to make the trip as enjoyable as possible.

Children Need Paperwork

If only one parent is planning to go to a Central American country and is taking a child with him. The first thing you should do is to get a notarized letter from the other parent granting permission for the child to leave the country and travel. In the Central American airports they won't let you get into the country without that letter, and if they do, they won't let you leave until it's you get one.

Be Vigilant

I'm not saying that you have to become a human radar, you just need to be a little more careful than usual. Thieves are usually around busy public areas where careless tourists congregate. The problem is that most of them look like regular people, so make sure that all of your possessions are kept away safely somewhere under your clothing or even better in your hotel room.

Bedbugs Are Everywhere!

When checking into your hotel room, do a pest inspection before unpacking your luggage. Bedbugs can be lurking, even in the cleanest and most respected hotels. It is because Central America is filled with forests and wildlife. Wherever you look there are mountains, rivers and volcanoes and most of the towns are placed very close to these. They can make an overnight stay a miserable, itchy experience.

A Great Way to Hide Valuables

For this part I'm going to talk about a great product to hide away your valuables, they are called Passport security socks. What is so great about them is that they have a zipped pocket that can hold cash, passport, keys, and other small valuables. They come in different sizes and heights, from ankle socks to over-the-calf styles.
