Most chain restaurants post their menus and nutrition content online, so do your research and make your selection ahead of time. Don’t even open the menu when you get there; you might be tempted to deviate from your well-intentioned plan. If you can’t get any nutrition information, be specific when placing your order: Skip dressings, sauces, cheese, coffee creamer, and other high-calorie, high-fat items. Order salad dressings on the side - and rather than pouring it onto your salad, dip your fork into the dressing and then spear your veggies. You’ll get the flavor without the calories. Cut portion sizes by ordering a to-go box with your meal, and immediately put half of the meal into the box - even if you have no intention of eating it. Finally, always carry healthy snacks with you for those times when you’re stranded at the airport or on the road. Try raisins, nuts, all-natural granola bars, apples, no-sugar-added dried fruit, and similar items.

Karen ID1899 - Before travelling photocopy passport, credit cards, driver's license, vaccination certificates, even airline tickets and travellers' cheques. Keep the copies with a friend at home who has a fax machine. I had all my documents stolen on the last day of a trip to North Africa and had my secretary fax my passport copy to the Embassy - who were able to issue me with a full replacement passport in 24 hours, instead of 7 days! You can always travel with a second set of photocopies - but pack them separately from your passport etc.! Michael Evans ID633 - Before you leave for an overseas trip, be sure to let your credit card companies know where you will be and when. This will lessen the chances of having your credit card purchases in foreign countries declined. Will Jenson ID2060 - While at home try out some of the 'Meal in a Bar' products, e.g. Boost and many others, to find one you like. Carry some with you when travelling so you are not forced to eat in airport restaurants or snack stands (especially in Mexico). Also, when driving, the next decent restaurant may be a half-hour or more away - and these bars can be a lifesaver. Florence Burley ID575 - It is advisable to keep copies of medical reports on X-ray, ECG and blood /urine or any other tests prescribed by the family doctor, since insurance companies do not reimburse on medical expenses for existing illness in countries abroad. These copies can also be with the family as well as in the personnel file of the employer to assist individuals during crisis.
