8 9 10 11 [Next] - As a defensive weapon, place a padlock inside of a dress sock. Wrap the sock around your least-used hand and carry it this way. When you need to use it, keep your grip on the loose end of the sock and swing it. Although heavier, you could also carry a nail-puller or miniature hammer under your belt. (I wish I had this when I was mugged in downtown Lima). 1-Jan-2000 Ronald G. ID890 - When traveling abroad, purchase a passport and money belt. Wear this around your waist, under your clothes, especially if you are travelling in a sleeper train with other passengers and want these items to be safe while you are sleeping. 1-Jan-2000 Lia Waitz ID897 - In hopes that your luggage never gets lost, a precautionary measure: Print clearly your name, but instead of your residence, put the address of your local police station. This way if someone is searching for a perfect burglary, they will be deterred when they realize it is the police station. Be sure that you have an unlisted phone number. 1-Jan-2000 Linda Hall-Headley ID901 - When travelling with your children, always prepare in advance with them whom they should ask for help, if separated, or where to meet. Also, for young children, make each of them a card which states their name, place they are staying, contact phone number, parents' names, medications they are taking, allergies, and what to do if lost. Then, the child should be told to give the card ONLY to a police officer should they become separated. 14-Jul-2001 J. Tomme ID291 - All travelers should have their own passports. Although passports are not currently required in all countries, some have stopped accepting birth certificates alone or baptismal certificates as proof of citizenship, because they do not have photos on them. In the event of a missing or injured member of your party, the information in the passports will be of help to the authorities immensely. All adults traveling across international borders with children should be prepared to show proof of parentage or guardianship of the children. Single parents should carry a letter from the absent parent indicating their permission for the children to leave the country with you. If you are separated or divorced, be sure to have copies of legal documents with you regarding custody rights for minor children traveling with you. 8-Jun-2001 Mike Fox ID245 Would You Like to Add a Travel Tip?We welcome QUALITY travel tips from our users.Note: you will be required to enter the characters from a security image, so please make sure that you have your browser set to view images.
