Packing Tips
Make a copy of passports, driver's license, credit cards, tickets, all confirmations, medical and vaccination records, membership and frequent flyer cards and insurance information. Scan and email all the documents to your Web-based email account so you can access it from your smartphone or nearest Wi-Fi access point. Then tuck the paper copies into your suitcase as an additional back-up.
