I went to Kinkos, printed out my color copy of my DL and the TSA people actually accepted it along with my Costco card and my checkbook as supplemental ID! I also take all of this information, as well as copies of all my travel stuff, insurance, etc and put them on a USB stick and encrypt it with a free encryption software (called USB Vault or something like that). You can put it on two cheap 1GB USB drives and put one in you and your partner's bags to split it up "just in case". Light, small and only has to save you once to make it all worth it!

Unfortunately, it seems that Citibank seems to be finding more and more ways to charge fees now. Yes, I think I may need to adjust that.
