Ask
someone, maybe a friend, neighbor or relative, to
pick up mails and newspapers for you.
Bring
adequate amount of traveller's check so that you won't
have to bring lots of cash.
Have
your passport photocopied, if you are travelling
overseas, and pack it in a different place than
the original. It the passport is lost or stolen,
the photocopy may serve as proof that you have a
valid passport.
Make
sure that all windows and doors are closed, and that
all appliances are turned off and disconnected to
the electric outlets.
Avoid
too much baggage, bring only the necessary things
that you need.
Always
bring some medicines like anti colds and vitamins
for your medication.
