Really good topic and great responses.My tip is to take a few cards some curencey from each country and photo copy every thing and keep in suit case and at home and in carry on,also I always wear pants while in transport that has several pockets (some along side leg, in seams with zippers).Spread all your important papers and monies around so if someone snatches your purse ,fanny pack, wallet, back pack or carry on they will not get every thing.Macy
