Travel Tips

• As you're packing, think twice about taking valuables with you. If they're not essential, they're probably better off left at home. This will also make for lighter bags.
• Scan your passport and travel documents and e-mail them to yourself. That way, if your documents are lost or stolen you can easily access copies from your e-mail.
• Take your bank or credit card's international telephone number with you (the 1-800 numbers used in the United States don't work in Mexico).
• Leave a copy of your itinerary with someone at home, but don't share details of your travel plans with others you meet while traveling.
