Also, have a list of your prescription meds in your wallet. I do that because if anything happened, I know my husband wouldn't know what I take. For that matter, I always forget the dosage on them. This way, I have it. If I lose any one them, I have the numbers, doses, names, etc.

I also have emergency numbers with me in case my cell phone doesn't work.

Oh, the copy of a passport won't get you in and out of a country, but it will expedite getting a new one if you do lose yours.

The copy is good for checking in and out of hotels, Identification if you get in trouble, lost, etc. I carry a copy when I am walking around in a foreign country and keep my real passport in the room's safe. Less likely to lose it or have it taken.

My traveling suggestion today, after going to NY is: Don't travel. Especially if you have a herniated disk in your neck. Ouch. I'm beat up!

I just returned today too, and my advise is don't bring only heels, even if you don't think you will be walking all that much. My hips, back and feet are killing me. I did have a great time - a great wedding party!

I only wore heels when we went out to dinner. My sister runs me into the ground and it's hard to keep up with her so I had on my running shoes!

Gosh, it was so much fun watching the NY Marathon. That's a first for me. Of course, they were happy at the halfway mark but on the last two miles, some of them were hanging over the barriers, vomiting.

You watched the Marathon, Dianne? I read some 35,000 participated. Hope less than half were vomiting! Egaaaads. I think that would be the last thing I would want to participate in. I find it amazing that so many people want to run neck in neck with others. I'd be so cramped, worrying about stepping on someone's heel or, much more likely, that someone would step on mine.

I'm not a runner/jogger. Hate it plus, I get asthma every single time I've tried.

I heard there were 37,000 runners. They even had UPS trucks to keep their clothing in after they changed into their running shorts. The trucks were police escorted to the finish line.

I didn't know you could make copies of your passport. But, then again, I don't travel abroad. If you lose the original, will they accept a copy?

I don't think they accept copies at all at the border. I live near the U.S.-Canada border. People really need to understand in post 9/11, governments on both sides of our international border, have tightened up on the ID requirement.

I can't imagine them taking a copy. I certainly would never try it without asking.

Since I have gone on several cycling trips (combined withn camping) for several hundred kms. with my bike panniers full of clothing, some food on bike rack....you truly learn just to take the most critical pieces of clothing and enjoy experiences of landscape, weather, sights and people without worrying too much about looking pretty.

I even curse when cycling up a hill and know the curling iron is adding to this damn weight. But, I refuse to destroy my hair texture and natural black colour, with a perm.
