This is really good information. Thanks for sharing. Never thought of some tips mentioned here like having a record of your luggage, etc. Most important is to back up your phone before you leave so you can buy the same one again if it gets lost or stolen and have all your data back. I keep mine updated constantly after one got taken out of our car when we went snorkeling and parked on the road in Maui so learned the hard way.
