What are the 10 commandments in planning your travel?

• Be sure that the emergency information page of your passport is filled along with the necessary Visas (if required), and signed.
  
  
• Be aware of any travel related warnings or information from the consulate office as public announcements for the country you intend to visit.
  
  
• Update yourself with local laws and customs of the countries to which you are traveling. Respect and obey the laws of the country you intend to travel (as you are subjected to it)
  
  
• As a safety measure make two copies of your passports Identification page. Leave one behind at home or with friends or relative and carry other along with you, but in a different place from your passport. This will facilitate replacement if your passport is lost or stolen.
  
  
• Leave a copy of your itinerary with family or friends at home so that you can be contacted in case of an emergency.
  
  
• Never leave your luggage unattended in public areas. Do not accept packages from strangers.
  
  
• Very useful information: Please notify / register with the embassy of your country in the country you're traveling, if you wish to stay for more than two weeks. This is helpful if someone contacts the embassy looking for you.
  
  
• Make sure you avoid being a target of crime. Avoid wearing conspicuous clothing and expensive jewelry. Do not carry excessive amounts of money or unnecessarycredit cards.
  
  
• Obtain receipts for all your purchases to avoid violating local laws. Only deal with authorized agents when you exchange money or purchase art or antiques.
  
  
• Keep important contact numbers for your Embassy handy which helps you in difficulty.
