  1. You might want to store pictures of important docs and passport on a secure jump drive as well. Easy to keep with you at all times!

  2. Like password protect the entire flash drive? I didn't know that was possible. I'll have to look into it. Thanks for the advice.

  3. Good lord man!! You were WAY more prepared than I was!! I brought HALF that amount of stuff and I was right at the weight limit! I don't know how you did it, but props! I figure I've got several months of discovering all the things I should have brought and didn't! :-)
