Here are some simple ways for you to keep track of your belongings, including the kids, when traveling.

When traveling with the kids, whether to another country or to an amusement park, have your children wear rubber wristbands with your contact information written on it.

They are a simple yet resourceful way to make sure that your children always have pertinent info with them to show to a helpful adult, just in case.

Before leaving for vacation, make sure that the first picture on your digital camera is of a piece of paper with your cell phone number written on it.

Should your camera, or even memory card, get lost, if someone turns your camera on, he’ll know who to call to return it.

Email yourself your vacation itinerary, any important contacts, and a fraud hotline number.

This way, all the information you need for your vacation is accessible practically anywhere in the world.
