 Register so the State Department can better assist you in an emergency:  Register your travel plans  with the State Department through a free online service.  https://travelregistration.state.gov.

Sign passport, and fill in the emergency information : Don’t leave this information in your hardside luggage sets, be sure to have this with you on your person at all times.

 Leave copies of itinerary and passport data page: Leave copies of your itinerary, passport data page and visas with family or friends, so you can be contacted in case of an emergency.

Check your overseas medical insurance coverage:  Ask your medical insurance company if your policy applies overseas, and if it covers emergency expenses such as medical evacuation.  If it does not, consider supplemental insurance.
Familiarize yourself with local conditions and laws. State Department web site has useful safety and other information about the countries you will visit.  http://travel.state.gov/travel/cis_pa_tw/cis/cis_1765.html

Let’s face it, there’s nothing better than a child’s first trip on an airplane, and it’s important for parents to make it special.  When traveling on an airplane, it’s essential to have a quality luggage set, and kids luggage sets are great for kids.  Most kids luggage sets come in fun colors and have smaller pockets and storage designed for kid size garments and apparel.  Quality kids luggage sets that have a hard shell or are cut from durable canvas can last for a long time.  If the set isn’t too flashy and doesn’t feature a cartoon character, the child might even find themselves wanting to use it as an adult!

While not a well perceived benefit of kids luggage, because it’s often smaller and recognizable as luggage for a child, it’s much less likely to get stolen.  Kids luggage is also great because it can fit in overhead compartments on the plane.  In fact, most kids luggage qualifies as carry-on luggage by the simple virtue that it is smaller in size when compared to adult luggage.
