•  Go over your flight information with a family member or friend and make sure they have a photocopy of your passport, flight info, hotel you're staying at, tours or theme parks you're visiting, etc..
• Sign your passport and fill out the emergency section.  
• Register your travel plans prior to departure with your own governments travel (State) department so they can contact you in case of emergency.
• Make sure your luggage and carry on meet the requirements and have clear identification labels with your address and phone number in case of loss. You can always check the airline's website for the appropriate sizes.
• Pack your valuables and medication in your carry on, make sure to only carry valuables you will use and medication you will need during your stay.
• Medication should always be kept in its original container with the pharmacy label clearly stating the doctor's name, the name of the medication, the reason for why you are on the medication and your name.
• Have your plane ticket, boarding pass and passport readily accessible in your carry on.
• Call your hotel and confirm your reservation. 
• Stop at the airport's information booth and find out what you're allowed to bring back, they should have an up to date pamphlet.
