I have just been notified of this website that contains travel guides for various countries and includes emergency advice; like what to do when your passport and credit cards are stolen.

Click on Fishers Guide and register for a guide or two before you go travelling.

Sometimes it isn’t the far flung countries where you have the most difficulties, the easy going european ones can be surprisingly troublesome speaking as one who has had her handbag stolen in Jaen, Andalucia, Spain. If I hadn’t been with my spanish speaking neice and put the car keys in my sister’s bag we would have been in the brown smelly stuff.
