As a collective group, if each tourist had a dollar for every time they said “Damn, I wish I knew … ” while abroad, my guess is they’d challenge a lottery jackpot. Oprah would likely call this your ‘Aha!’ moment. Unfortunately, ‘Aha!’ moments, after the fact, in the air or overseas are not very helpful.

My tip is if you use and iPhone:
In contacts create a group for upcoming trips; ie; You can keep contact info for hotels, airline info, hotel bookings, US Embassy etc for each city you are visiting. So when you are traveling, you can only have that group selected, so all needed info is available at a glance!
No need to panic searching through hundreds of contacts when all you will nee are in 1 group! You can have a contact card for each city with excursion contacts, police etc so it is easy to find in a hurry!
