Camera is usually carried with me all the time. No jewelry. Clothers are worthless rags. Money and credit cards are split up. Some in the suitcase, some with me. If I get robbed while I'm away from the hotel, I still have money and credit cards. If the hotel room gets robbed, I still have money and credit cards. Unfortunatley you can't split a laptop in half. I don't want to take it with me everywhere I go. If you trust your credit card in your suitcase... Then the laptops should be no problem. But you still want to heed the other parts of the advice. -- Shenan Stanley MS-MVP -- How To Ask Questions The Smart Way http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html |
