Post: Travel Tips - 1 of 7

Posted by R. Garcia (over 30 countries and counting) on 11/26/07

    Pack everything of value in your carry-on luggage. Though
    it may seem to be stating the obvious, if your luggage is
    lost, even temporarily, you could experience problems that
    are easily prevented. Insure to fill any prescriptions you
    need, before you leave and carry an extra pair of contact
    lenses or glasses, just in case.

    Pack as light as possible and be sure that you have room
    in your luggage for souvenirs. Pack clothes that can be
    mixed and matched with each other. If going with a
    partner, pack some of yours in theirs and vice versa, so
    if a bag goes missing you will have clothes for both of
    you. Comfortable walking shoes and loose fitting clothes
    are a must. Wrap your toiletries in little (plastic)
    sandwich bags; if they accidentally spill you won’t ruin
    all your clothes. Remember that many airlines are
    enforcing the "one piece of carry-on luggage" rule,
    particularly when the flight is full, so pack your bags
    accordingly.

    As the saying goes, “take twice as much money and half as
    many clothes as you think you’ll need.” Make copies of
    your traveler’s checks. Securing replacements of these
    documents when you travel abroad is much easier when you
    can provide copies of originals. Credit cards are widely
    accepted and ATM machines have become part of the
    landscape in many foreign countries. But, you may still
    find it necessary to carry cash when you venture into
    small towns and rural areas.

    Make sure you have a signed, valid passport and visas, if
    required. Also, before you go, fill in the emergency
    information page of your passport!

    Make copies of your passport identification page. This
    will facilitate replacement if your passport is lost or
    stolen. Leave one copy at home with friends or relatives.
    Insert one inside each luggage; carry the other with you
    in a separate place from your passport and with your spare
    passport photos.
