Great news - FedEx delivered my purse yesterday from Salt Lake City. Here are some tips that might save you some of the hassles I've encountered:
Photocopy your driver's license and keep that copy at home, in case you misplace your wallet or purse. This past weekend I had a devil of a time buying groceries with a check, since I didn't have my license (even though I had a passport and my vehicle registration).
When you travel, don't keep your car/house keys in your purse. Zip them in an inside pocket in your carry-on bag instead. Learned that the hard way several years ago when I lost my keys after they fell out of my purse on a business trip in Ohio. Talk about inconvenient!
When you travel, keep some cash at home - even if it's only $20. I had a devil of a time buying gas this past weekend, and that cash would have come in really handy.
And my best tip - don't leave your purse in the airport when you get on a plane.
