The Travelist

I'm all about Google — using Gmail, Docs, Reader and Analytics daily — but haven't really dug my claws into Google Sites, which lets you create your own web page, and gives you the option to keep it private. But a tech savvy reader in this month's edition of Budget Travel came up with a great way to utilize the technology to back up their travel documents while globetrotting:

My wife and I create a private web page for each trip we take. We post everything we need: confirmation numbers, scanned copies of passports and drivers' licenses, phone numbers and maps. It's comforting to know that in case we lose our wallets, all of our info is just a Google password away

Genius! This just goes to show you that backing up your data isn't just a term reserved for tech geeks, it's for travel geeks too! It's always good to have a back up set of documents on hand, and I can't imagine a better (or safer) place to keep them than in the cloud.
