Take your passport...and copies!

Smart bride, smart traveler…Wherever your honeymoon may take you it is important to leave a paper trail…yes, a paper trail. I know you two love birds want to be left alone and after all the wedding festivities you just want to head off into the sunset to begin the second most anticipated event… The Honeymoon!

However, it is important to be smart when traveling. It doesn’t matter if you are going outside the US or staying stateside creating a paper trail is always a smart safety precaution.  Add these items to your honeymoon check off list.   Make copies of airline schedules, hotel information, check in and checkout dates, planned excursions, car rental information and your in-laws phone numbers.   If you are traveling outside the US it is very important to make 3 copies of your passports: one to leave at home, one to carry while you are out having fun and one to leave in the hotel room in case yours gets lost or stolen.  The US will let you back into the country with a copy.   Never carry your passport when you are out site seeing.

In case of an emergency you will be very happy you took these measures in advance!  Be like the Boy Scouts and be prepared.
