«We just returned from our trip to Copper Canyon. It was wonderful …We felt safe at every moment in every city, and all the Mexican people we met along the way were very kind and hospitable. I hope more travelers learn about this beautiful place and decide to go soon. » Jan. 2011, KM, Chicago.

Travel Tips
A. There are six phone numbers to carry on paper when traveling:
l. Airline toll-free reservation number (I have mine in my cell phone too)
2. Direct number of person who handles your company’s travel
3. Help line of your credit card issuer
4. Toll-free number of your connecting airline
5. Number of the taxi service that will meet you at the airport
6. The phone numbers of the 3 national credit reporting organizations to be able to place a fraud alert:
Equifax: 1 800 525 6285
Experian: 1 888 397 3742
Trans Union: 1800 680 7289
B. Do not give credit card info over the phone to the front desk of a hotel
An identity thief will call a hotel and ask for a guest with a common name. He asks to be connected to the guest’s room and pretends to be calling from the front desk. He says there is a problem with the card and asks the guest to verify the account number, expiration date and security code. Instead, have the caller read back the credit card number and you can verify it if they actually have it in their possession.
