Hotel Tips
Packing
A passport, for all travel outside the U.S. and identification purposes.
Wallet
Driver's License and/or other proper photo identification required for domestic
travel.
Insurance cards for both your medical and automobile insurance
Credit cards
Travelers checks
Coupons
Airline, Cruise or Train tickets
Itinerary with confirmation numbers and addresses and phone numbers of where
you'll be staying
Travel brochures and maps
Lots of crisp one-dollar bills for all those tipping opportunities
A small amount of local currency for immediate use to hold you over until
you can make it to a currency exchange, if you're planning foreign travel.
What is the best way to carry my medications?
Carry them in your carry-on since it will be less likely to be lost than your
checked luggage. Your carry-on will also do less harm to temperature-sensitive
medication.
Carry your medication in their original bottles to help avoid security questions.
Bring along the generic names of your medications since brand names can vary.
If you have any questionable drugs or particularly large supplies, you might
want to bring a letter from your doctor stating you have a legal right to
use these drugs.
If you are traveling outside the United States, check to see what you can
take with you. Something legal here might be illegal elsewhere.
