  • Courier Service May be More Reliable than Airline Baggage Services

  • - Although it will cost more, if you are carrying items that simply MUST NOT be lost by the airlines, consider sending them ahead by courier service. Your items will be at your destination when you arrive and you will not have the hassle of lugging them with you wherever you go.

  • Credit Card and ID Safety

  • - When taking a purse or wallet, only take two credit cards and Driver's ID and only necessary business cards. Leave ALL other credit cards at home and always write down the credit card numbers you're taking with you and place them elsewhere in your luggage in case your purse or wallet is stolen. Also write down important phone numbers of people to contact in case of any emergency (doctor, dentist, pharmacist, credit card companies, etc.) and put them elsewhere in your luggage. They can be a life saver!

  • Cut Down on Weight

  • - Photocopy the pages of travel books relevant to the area you are visiting rather than take entire books, to cut down on weight.

  • Date Format Confusion

  • - Tip for Overseas Travelers: When traveling to a country that requires a VISA (i.e., China), look carefully at the effective dates; countries outside the US use the date format day/month/year. This is especially critical early in the year. If you show up in the wrong month you may not be allowed to enter the country.

  • Departure Taxes

  • - Find out before you depart whether there is a departure tax, and how much it is. Some countries do charge a small fee, and will not let you board your flight without first paying it. It is best to reserve that amount of cash, as credit cards and other forms of payment are not accepted.
