What to Take With You and What to Leave Behind on
Your Trip Abroad
Don't bring anything you would hate to lose.
Leave at home:
Valuable or expensive-looking jewelry
Irreplaceable family objects
All unnecessary credit cards
Do bring medical necessities (see the health section regarding medications and
insurance).
Make two photocopies of the passport identification page, airline tickets, driver’s license
and the credit cards you plan to take. Leave one copy of each with family or friends at
home, and pack the other copies separately from the originals. Leave a copy of the
serial numbers of your travelers’ checks with a friend or relative at home. Carry your
copy with you in a separate place and, as you cash the checks, cross them off the list.
Plan for the Unexpected
Take with you items that you will need if your trip is unexpectedly extended. These
items may include extra money or medications.

Leave Copies of Documents and Itinerary With Relatives in the U.S.
Leave a copy of the itinerary with family or friends at home in case they need to
contact you in an emergency.
