While vaccinations may not be necessary, we recommend double-checking this with a medical professional such as your GP or a travel doctor in regards to the specific country you are travelling to. Also, making an appointment with a medical professional for a basic health check-up at least eight weeks before you depart is recommended.

Most phones will work as long as it is not locked to a network in your home country. If so, remember to get it unlocked before you leave, that way when you reach your destination, you can get a sim-card and use their local network. Check with your provider as far as expenses go for using phone overseas.

This is really a personal decision. You may want money for extra food at airports etc. On top of that there will be opportunity to buy gifts and souvenirs for yourself and family members. We always recommend to bring U.S. currency as it is welcomed everywhere.
