ก@
กน Make three photocopies of passports, international and U.S. driver's permits, visas and the itinerary. Leave one set at home, put one in carry-on luggage and one in the stored luggage.

กน Call and verify that U.S. insurance will cover medical care receive in other countries.

กน Never at the time of a security check-in, nor at any time in the airport, should a passenger make jokes about guns, bombs or hijacking.

กน If you are not on a packaged tour, book a city tour for the first day after arrival to get acquainted with your surroundings and the attractions it has to offer.

กน Take a few business cards from the hotel to show a taxi driver if lost.

กน Prior to exchanging foreign currency before returning to the U.S., foreign independent travelers remember to set aside some for the taxis to the airport and airport departure tax.

กน When traveling with children, keep some small surprises on hand. A small can of Play-Doh works well on an airline tray and can keep a restless child busy.

กน Take along and use insect repellents containing deet in areas where malaria is a threat.

กน Women carrying handbags should only travel with ones that zip completely shut and should carry them across the chest or under a coat or sweater. Men should keep their wallets in front pockets or use a money belt.

กน Carry a doorstop to use in hotels that don't have deadbolt locks.
