Do look back. Never, never leave a plane, train, or bus without casting one last glance backward to see whether you've left anything behind in your seat. The same goes for your hotel room, where you should always take a peek under the bed before departing.
Keep those bags in sight. Except for when you hand them over at check-in at the airport or to a bellhop at your hotel, never, never let your bags out of your sight, not even for an instant. It's astonishing how many people make this mistake -- and never see their bags again.
Excuse yourself. Learn to say "Excuse me" in the language of the country you are going to. If you say "Pardon me" or "Sorry," people are more willing to listen and work out the rest with you than if you approach them without an introduction that they understand. Another good phrase to learn: "Where is the bathroom?" Could spare you some embarrassment.
