No matter how well you have planned your move, emergencies do
happen.
Before you leave make sure you have all important papers with you
- not packed with your household goods. Make sure you have important
phone numbers with you, including your sponsor's. Your sponsor can be
very valuable in case of an emergency while in transit.
