In the event your passport is lost or stolen, these may suffice to get you back home without the cost and hassle of replacing your passport abroad. If your travels will take you to or through countries where a passport is required to continue your travel, have a copy of your passport application and two extra copies of passport photos in this envelope as well. Passport replacement abroad can be accomplished through U.S. embassies or consulate offices. Your hotel should have phone numbers for the nearest office or embassy. 1-Jan-2000 Daniel Corwin ID709 - The clothespin - one of the greatest inventions of mankind. Not only at home, but when traveling, they have a multitude of uses. Hang your clothes in the closet with them, clip your receipts together, close those plastic bags, hang up your swimsuit, close your partially-eaten chips bag, etc. I always pack 2 and believe me, they get used! 1-Jan-2000 Virginia Wood ID663 - Many hotels charge extra for a room with a small fridge. I found a very nice collapsible cooler from a camping supply store. When folded, it fits in the large outer pocket of my suitcase - and when opened it holds water bottles and snacks and a large amount of ice (usually found on every floor of a hotel). Mine has carrying handles and a shoulder strap so it is also easy to tote to the beach or poolside. I used to just buy a cheap styrofoam cooler at my destination and discard it when leaving, but they break and are not flexible - mine can be stuffed to fit into the trunk of a car or behind the front seat. Added bonus - when empty and collapsed, it doubles as a seat cushion! Mine is an 'Arctic Zone' from Outer Circle Products, Ltd. 4-Jul-2001 Kyra Achee ID275 - Dental floss is not just for teeth. I have used it to mend torn bags, sew buttons and fix broken sandal straps. It is amazingly strong. I have even used it to tie cans of beer to a hotel room's air conditioner to cool off while I was out touring for the day. Ice was hard to come by and nothing else could hold the cans in place. 1-Jan-2000 Mark Woodside ID732 - Instead of using liquid washing soap for your laundry, try detergent tablets. Tide makes single use packets that include 2 tablets. You can throw them in your bag and not worry about leaking bottles and soapy clothes. 12-Nov-2001 K.
