Also, while rooms that have sliding doors leading into a pool area are nice, they also increase your risk of being broken into. Carrie Hopkins ID71 - When out sightseeing or walking after dark, keep a wad of $1 bills wrapped in a $10 bill. If confronted by a person seeking to rob you, pull it out slowly and quickly throw it far away from you. Run in the opposite direction that you throw the money. Hopefully, if the robber sees that $10, he'll think it's a lot more money than it is and he will go after it. You can run to safety, and you won't be out a huge amount of money. Kristen Wells ID895 - When travelling abroad with a large group of people, keeping track of airline tickets and passports can be rather difficult. A good tip for group leaders is to sew a pocket into a tanktop, place important documents inside, and pin shut. Not only are all the items together and accounted for, they are safe from thieves. Rachel Thompson ID907 - Before your trip starts discuss the problems associated with getting separated in a strange city. Tell ALL of the people in your group that if you get lost or separated from each other to return to the last place you were together. As an alternate meeting place, tell them to return to the car or pick up point for your transportation, every hour on the hour. (This points out how important it is to plan a place and time to meet and ALWAYS park in a well-lit and safe area). Talk to your children about where you are going and the different types of transportation you will be on. Talk with all group members about safety and security, and discuss any special problems anticipated in the regions you will be in. Teach your kids to memorize your home phone number and that of at least one other relative at home (including area code). Mike Fox ID246 - One great way to take your 100 dollar bills (besides the money belt) is: the inside part of the jeans where the belt is supposed to be has a little chamber. With a knife cut an opening and now you can roll your bills up and put them inside. I found it's not very comfortable when tryng to use your bills, but sure is a safe place. I have been mugged twice traveling in Asia and I still have my money!
