Plan Ahead to Avoid Travel EmergenciesEven the best-laid plans can quickly unravel when an emergency strikes. Lost luggage. A sudden illness on the road. A nasty discussion with local authorities about state firearm regulations. While there's no way to completely avoid accidents or on-the-road emergencies, these simple travel tips can help keep your travel plans on track. Make copies of your driver's license, credit cards and passport before you leave on your trip. Then make sure they're tucked safely in a carry-on bag.If possible, travel with only one or two credit cards. Plan to use one for most of your travel expenses and keep the second one for emergencies only. (Carrying more credit cards will mean more headaches if your wallet is lost or stolen.)Never list your home address on your luggage tags. Use a business address to avoid alerting others that your home may be unoccupied for an extended period of time.Pack a small flashlight to keep by your bed while travelling. You never know when you may find yourself suddenly "in the dark" due to a power outage or because you're simply not familiar with the light switches.If you're bringing firearms for hunting, shooting competitions, personal protection or because you're moving, make sure you know the firearm regulations in each state you'll be travelling through.If you're flying with firearms or ammunition, check the TSA website and your airline's website to make sure your guns are packed properly.Pack a "Travel First Aid Kit" that includes bandages, sunscreen, mosquito repellant and alcohol wipes.
