HotelChatter on Keeping Valuables Safe

If too many episodes of Dateline’s bizarre hotel scandals revealed have got you buggin’ out every
time you see the maid or terrified that room service is going to swipe your swim trunks and shower shoes in broad
daylight you could be right. Chances are they won’t, but every now and again they do. Luckily some of us have been
fortunate enough to rely only on luggage locks to secure our
things while we’re away playing tourist in peace. Others, who haven’t been as blessed or the extremely paranoid may wish
to take measures further by investing in the Wireless Briefcase Monitor. HotelChatter does a fine job
breaking down how the handy protection device works in alerting you when crooked-sticky-fingered staff get tempted to
touch. 

The other suggestions mentioned are
fairly well-known like, utilizing the room safe, front desk safes and make-shift disguises (half-empty tampon boxes for
passports, etc.) are all included. However, it’s still a pretty good refresher on making sure your very basic things,
even dirty laundry stay put. Check it out before you check in.

Don't Let the Bed Bugs Bite

I really am tired of these stories. I suppose
there is a good reason for them. I mean, should we know that there are bedbugs galore in our hotel rooms? Not to mention
all manner of other unsavory fluids and disgusting stuff that might be lurking in your rented hotel rooms…and whiich
you would generally not be able to see unless you happen to bring a black light when you travel. Look, I do think these
stories might be of some use…but really they feed the public’s fear and they are a tawdry kind of journalism.
