This tip comes from Walkabout Travel Gear, an online travel store at www.walkabouttravelgear.com that caters to independent travellers. In addition to selling travel products it features some good basic travel tips, such as “If you have access to a scanner before you leave, have somebody scan and save copies of your important documents.
You can have them sent to your e-mail account before you even leave. This way, it will be easier to get another copy, even if everything you own has been stolen.”
It would be wise to test accessing and printing out the e-mail message documents before you leave.
