"Where did I leave my passport?"

We keep all our holiday 'stuff' in one drawer.  That's things like MP3 players, first aid kit, left over Euros etc.  The passports are in the same drawer.

I had a nice surprise when I went to get my passport for the first time in 18 months to find €120 that I had forgotten that I had.

"I have the same. Such a cheap safe isn't going to put off a determined burglar or withstand a serious fire but they are useful for a dedicated place to keep important documents, cash and other items which are easy to lose."

The safe is adequate to deter a opportunist light fingered visitor - if they can bodyswerve our alarm system, we have a problem !!!

A good way of retaining key reference information for quick access is to send youself an email with all such information, passport details, for example.

Overheard conversation at check-in:-

Husband: "I wish we'd brought the piano with us"
Wife: "We've already got two huge suitcases as well as hand luggage, why on earth would you want the piano of all things?"
Husband: "Because our passports are on top of it!"
