Tip #2: Best investment for peace of mind!

Tip #2:

TravelSafe (found on Magellan's web site)

We found this at an airport years ago on our way to Ghana, West Africa. It has been one of the best travel purchases we have ever made!

A sturdy bag that holds my passport, extra travelers checks, jewlery, ect that stays in the hotel room while I am tooling around for the day.

Because it is reinforced with "slash proof stainless steel mesh", it locks around any secure fixture, allowing you to leave your valuables in the room without any worry of them walking away!

Tip #1: How to keep my money safe...

Hi my name is Beth Ann Brancato-Misenhimer.
This is me, in a rice paddy showing my group of Culture Junkies (an endearing name I have created for the wonderful people who travel on my tours)
please see my web site for more details on that! http://www.stressescapetours.com/thaiyoga.html
With 20 + years of traveling experience, and now running tours to wonderful places around the globe i.e. Thailand and India yoga retreats and tours to Thailand to take Thai Yoga massage courses.

When someone signs up for one of our trips to a far away land, they typically have LOTS of questions for me. I thougth it would be helpful to blog one tip a day to help you begin your journey of a lifetime!

Tip #1: Purchase a security wallet (neck pouch or waist belt). You can find these at your local AAA store, or on line (check out Magellans.com). This money pouch will become the most important item you have when "on the road". Even in very safe countries, I ALWAYS have my money pouch with me. It sits under the elastic of my undies, all my valuables safely on me.

Money belts/neck pouches are meant to be worn underneath your clothes holding your passport, cash, travelers checks, credit cards, airline tickets and copies of any prescriptions.

to avoid looking like I just gained 15 pounds on the waist I .... see Tip #2 tomorrow...
