You can send and receive e-mail from most destinations around the world, this is an easy, quick and cost effective way of staying in touch with family and friends, you can get free e-mail accounts from the likes of Hotmail, MSN & Yahoo and access the e-mail from internet cafes.

tip: Instead of photocopying all your important documents and carrying them with you, you can scan everything and e-mail the scans to your e-mail account as attachments. Use a web-based e-mail account such as a free hotmail.com account so you can access your documents from anywhere in the world. We suggest you scan your Passport, Drivers License, Social Security Card, Birth Certificate, Insurance Policies, etc. In fact, this is just an all-around good idea! Do it now, even if you are not traveling, in case of fire or theft.
