I was able to get mine from WH Smith who sell scratch-and-go insurance cards that are similar to the mobile phone top-up cards. Once I had bought the card all I had to do was make a quick phone call and I was covered. Not only was this quick and cheap (£15 for a week in Spain) but my two children were included for free!

Depuy ID526 - Recently, my mother-in-law, a travel agent, was on a family trip to Brussels. Someone had given her a special alarm to attach to her suitcase. The alarm sends out a loud sound if someone tries to pick up a suitcase and walk away with it. As luck would have it, she was making a phone call at the airport, and while doing so, a person picked up her suitcase and the alarm went off. She turned around quickly as the person fled without it. It prevented the theft of her bag. When she returned, she said that the alarm had been given to her after being found at a flea market. Before we went on our vacation this summer, we found the same alarm on the internet. Several companies sell it, but a company called Pentagon Defense Products had it for the cheapest price - around $7.00. It's worth its weight in gold. Pentagon Defense Products Pentagon Defense Products ID898 - When staying in a hotel, NEVER answer the hotel room door before verifying who the person is. If the person claims to be a hotel employee and you didn't request any hotel employee at that time, ALWAYS call the front desk to verify that the person has a reason for being at your room. It may seem rude to you to turn someone away, but this very act can help protect you and your family. For more safety tips go to Safety Tips 411. Shari Hearn ID2034 - When traveling internationally, remember that not everyone likes Americans. Learn something about the culture you'll be enjoying and try to blend in. Dress in neutral tones and try not to talk or laugh loudly - it draws unnecessary attention to yourself. Obvious tourists are obvious targets.
