if you do get sick or need their help in any way.You just ring them up,say your name & straight away they know who you are without having to go into any long winded details.I know this from personal experinences.
For the short amount of time it takes to register I feel it is definately worthwhile & would recommend it to anyone.After all it means that our government officials back at home know who we are & where we are IF anything goes wrong.It also gives the family back here peace of mind.
In spite of all this we still always leave a full itineary with our family & staff - better safe than sorry.
