  • A Little Common Sense Goes a Long Way

  • - Money belts are cheap idea, and I recommend you invest in one. However they're so common these days that anyone looking to steal from you knows where you keep your valuables. That is - unless you get a real money belt - not the canvas ones that you strap round your waist, but the real ones which look exactly like your common or garden belt, but have a carefully concealed zip on the inner side.

    Keep your cash, travellers checks, etc. in different places on your person when you go out - and whether on the move or stationed somewhere, NEVER keep all your cash in one place. Put some down a sock, some in that little inside pocket of your jeans, etc. Those fanny packs are cool, but I'd never keep anything valuable in them, as it's too easy for someone to grab and run.

  • A Simple Way to Protect Your Health while You Travel

  • - Regarding travel health (especially for women) unopened pills may be allowed in some form.

    I highly recommend taking cranberry pills with you when you travel, and here's why (especially for women). First, they are full of vitamins, minerals, and beneficial material that will help keep you from getting sick during travel. They are also in small convenient form with all the benefits of cranberry juice. (Liquids aren't allowed on planes).

    Getting a UTI while on vacation would be a ruin-er and cranberry pills help prevent UTI's from occurring.

  • Are Your Pre-Existing Conditions Covered while Abroad?

  • - A big gap in travel health insurance is an exclusion for pre-existing conditions. This can be a real problem for travelers over age 65, who typically have several pre-existing medical conditions. However, some travel insurance plans do provide full coverage if you have primary coverage (such as Medicare) in the USA. Be sure to do your research before you select a policy. Read the fine print to ensure that you will be covered for everything.

    A website that specializes in travel insurance for American seniors is Over 65 Travel. Check them out for a full-coverage plan that's right for you.

  • Be There with Bells On

  • - Place Christmas type bells on your carry on, and when someone tries to move it, you will hear. Always, when standing around or sitting drinking coffee, keep your foot through the strap. If someone drops something, or something happens, look at your backpack. This may be a diversion to steal your backpack.

  • Be Vigilant - Pickpockets are Watching You

  • - Pickpockets gravitate towards busy public areas where unsuspecting tourists congregate: bus stops, train stations, airline terminals, popular tourism sites, etc. Be aware of the people around you, and make sure that all of your possessions are stowed away safely somewhere under your clothing.
