Travel Trailers No matter how great your vacation, you will find the going rough
at some stage. It could be a little thing like an unfriendly cabbie
or a more serious issue like your hotel room being robbed, or your
luggage going astray at an unfamiliar airport. Whatever your horror
story, here are 10 ways to make sure such hurdles are minimized:

- Use a hidden wallet to carry most of your valuables and
identification. Also, carry important papers on your person and DO
NOT check in anything that you cannot afford to lose. For good
measure, photocopy your passport, driver's license and credit cards
and leave them at home. And try not to carry more than two credit
cards. Better still, use a prepaid credit card
- Mail a money order or travelers checks to yourself at your
hotel so that even if you lose some of money, more will be
coming
- Bring important phone numbers with you and put them in two
different places. Carry the phone number that will cancel your
credit card; if traveling abroad, carry your country's embassy
details; and carry the numbers of family and friends who can help
you if you get into trouble
- Be sure to keep a copy of your travel insurance at home as well
as on your trip so that a family member can access it if necessary.
Credit cardholders should know what kind of insurance is covered on
you're their cards before they set out
- Carry basic medical information like your blood type and
allergies, and make sure it is translated into the primary language
of the place you are going to for the benefit of
non-English-speaking doctors. Your prescription medicines should be
labeled accurately because certain prescription drugs are forbidden
in some countries. Also carry a basic first aid kit with bandages,
iodine, mosquito repellant, sunscreen, alcohol packets, diarrhea
medicine, etc.
- Never list your home address on the luggage tag. If on
business, put the company's address on the tag; if visiting friends
you can list their address. Stay with your luggage until it is
checked in. If you must put your bag down, keep one foot on the
handle. Also, do not wear name tags in public
- Never wear anything that indicates affluence such as jewelry
and gold watches. Also, do not flash your passport and money in
public and do not discuss travel plans, your room number or any
other personal information within earshot of strangers
- If traveling with children, carry a recent photograph of each
child in case you are separated from them. Write each child's name
and your hotel number on a card and include a close friend or
relative's contact information. Give a card to each child which
they will carry with them
- Familiarize yourself with train and bus schedules before
traveling. Have an alternate plan in place in case your
transportation plans change
- Preferably stay in hotels that use cards to open room doors and
make sure your room has a peephole and deadbolt lock. A room near a
stairwell is always better than other rooms. Beware of
over-friendly fellow guests. Women in particular should never
accept a drink from a stranger. Keep an eye on your drink at all
times
