Here are a few Business Travel safety tips from terminaltraveler.com. Please comment and add any tips you use.
- Dress down, no need to pack your most expensive jewelry as you will only stick out like a sore thumb especially when in an unfamiliar city or area.
- Copy the contents of your wallet before you go. Pack one copy in your luggage and leave one set with your secretary or office.
- Remove and leave those items from your wallet that you will not be using when you travel, such as membership cards, supermarket loyalty cards, etc.
- Use your in room safe. Before you leave your room put keys, passports, laptops in it. Use it every time you leave your room!
- If you wear glasses, or contacts be sure to bring an extra pair with you.
- Pill cases are convenient but if you travel with Prescription meds leave them in the original container they came in from the pharmacy.

- Most countries do not accept American Express cards. Sign up for a Visa Credit Card tied to an airline Frequent Flier program
- Place your name and address on each tag for each bag and inside each bag if possible
- Double check US Department of State’s website for Travel Visa and Warnings often, before you head to the airport for the country you are traveling to.

That rss option on your website here is impressive, you should tell more folks about it in your next post. I haven’t noted it a first, now I’m using it each morning to check on any updates. I’m on a rattling slow dial-up link in Alabama and it’s quite daunting to sit there and wait for such a long time ’til the page loads… but hey, I just found your rss page and added it to the Google Reader and there you are… I’m always up-to-date! Well buddy, keep up the good work and make that rss button a little bigger so that other people can enjoy that as well
