LPT: When travelling (especially overseas) scan every single document you are taking (passport, credit cards, itinerary, d/license, insurance card etc...) and email them to yourself. If anything should go wrong, you will be able to access your information, in colour, from any computer in the world!

Imagine...you are going on your dream trip. Bags packed, wallet ready. You get to your destination and your bags are in Austria, but you are in Australia. You go to your hotel, tired and angry, and go to check in but your wallet is now in the back of the taxi...gone.

Onto the computer you go. You have everything there that you need to:
Prove who you are
Show the embassy so an expedited passport can be arranged
Recite your credit card number to your card company so a new one can be issued
Etc....

Putting copies of this into your luggage won’t help...if your luggage isn’t with you!
