Docs travel advise...............1. Make 3 copies of your passport. Leave one at home, keep one in your luggage, and have a traveling companion keep the other.2. If traveling by car keep the doors LOCKED at all times, and roll up the windows at red lights.3. If you have a camera do NOT hang it from it's strap over your shoulder when walking around. Hold it in your hand or put it in your pocket.4. DO NOT CARRY a purse. If you must, and I'm sure you will, DO NOT have any money, credit cards, or ANYTHING else you're not willing to lose in it.5. If renting a car, FIRST THING, REMOVE the big target, I'm mean sticker, below the gas cap indicating the type of gas to put in the car.6. If planing on using credit cards CALL your credit card and find out their exchange fee BEFORE you leave.7. If bringing cash, USE a local bank (over there) for exchanging to local currency and NEVER use a street side exchange booth.8. HAVE FUN, and remember, ask a local (not a hotel employee) where to eat
