Travel Tips
* Pack a set of each person's clothing in everyone else's suitcases, just in case some luggage is lost.
* Email yourself a file of your important documents, itinerary, phone numbers, copies of passports, etc. This way, in case you lose absolutely everything, you can still access your important information at any computer with an Internet connection.
* Don't forget to pack any chargers you need for laptops, cell phones, MP3 players, and other electronic devices. Little Timmy will be upset if he can't play his PSP on the way back home.
* Always leave a little bit of room in your luggage to bring home any souvenirs.
* Remember to pack any medication you need. Pack some aspirin and medicine for upset stomachs, just in case.
* Before you start packing, make a list of everything you will need. It helps, ''a lot''.
