Of course it sounds silly - make copies for a better trip? Copies of what you might ask?
Make copies of all of your travel documents - your itinerary, your passport, your plane arrangements, your hotel reservations. Keep these copies separate from your original documents. This much seems obvious. But there are more copies you must make.
Take your wallet out and place every credit card, your drivers license, your club cards (AAA, AARP, etc) even your health insurance cards - face down on a copy machine and photocopy them all. Then carefully turn them over, and make another copy, of the BACK side of the card. Often there is important information, phone numbers or other details that you may need on the back of these cards, so make a copy of both sides.
While you are at it, make a copy of these cards and put it in your safebox at home or your safety deposit box at the bank. It could come in handy.
One further suggestion if you are more computer savvy is to scan all of your cards and travel documents, and save them on a portable USB flash drive so that you can print them out on a computer if necessary. These devices are small, portable, and can hold hundreds of documents.
