Empty your wallet or purse of anything you won’t be using during this trip. Leave your expensive jewelry at home as well as your cell phone! It’s a time to disconnect and be present. If you can’t bear to lose it, don’t bring it. For safety’s sake, assume the worst, that your checked baggage will be delayed, lost or stolen. Believe me, it happens! Carry travel documents, medicine, etc. on board with you.
