The travel tip gshase gave is great. In addition to passport and airline info, I scan the back side of my credit card so, in case it's stolen, I have the phone number of the card company.
Also, I always call the credit card company a couple of days before travelling to give them a rough itinerary (countries, time frame, use of ATMs) so I don't get the card refused and end up stranded, ask me how I learned.
Lomotil and Neosporin go with me everywhere, and Cipro to less developed countries. I haven't needed any of these very often but I have gotten caught short a couple of times and it's good to have some back up.
