Question: Do I need any vaccination?
It is very important to set an appointment with a travel doctor in your home country before you come. Depending on the situation, you might take vaccine for yellow fever and may take prophylaxis pills to protect you against Malaria. If you go to coastal areas or come (or have a transit) in an endemic yellow fever country, proof of vaccination against yellow fever may be required at the airport.
Question: How much spending money should I bring?
$20 a day is a good start. This varies from with how much you drink and eat out and how many souvenirs you buy. 50% cash in US$ and 50% in money on your credit card – but you really need to bring two credit cards as they can easily be rejected by the cash machine due to your own bank blocking them as suddenly withdrawing cash abroad will seem unusual to your bank at home. Remember ATM machines only pay out local currency. On most borders you can change excess left over currency for the next countries money.
