High-Tech Passport Backup
Dear Rudy,
I used to make a photocopy of my passport as a backup when I 
traveled. But still, I worried that if my luggage were lost or 
stolen, the copy would be gone, too.  With my new digital camera, 
I've taken digital photos of my passport and emailed it to myself at 
an email account I can access through the web. Now, if I lose my 
passport, I can just find a computer (at an airport, hotel or 
cybercafe) and print out a color copy. This also works for credit 
cards and travelers checks, so I don't have to carry or remember the 
information necessary to get them replaced.
- Dale
