Travel Tip of the Week – Ladies Only
On an earlier post I had mentioned about traveling with one of those special money belts that can be worn around your waist under your clothing to keep your cash, credit cards, etc. safe from those who would like to take it from you. When you travel alone you may be more conspicuous as a target so I would remind you to take that precaution.
Recently, in just surfing, I came upon another similar idea for you ladies, or really anyone, who has access to a pair of old pantyhose. If you do not have a place to purchase the zippered money belt that I spoke of, another alternative would be to use the leg of a pair of panty hose. You could just place the money and cards in it and then tie it around your waist.
If you are also carrying a little purse, I would leave a little cash there to pay for tips, cab fares, and little odds and ends you may want to purchase en-route with out exposing to anyone about your little secret stash.

Only problem it might be a bit awkward and embarassing when you have to unravel it all to get the money out!

True. That is a funny visual! I would not put it all in there, but keep a portion out in a purse for that reason. Then in a private moment, not only to avoid embarassment, but to keep the stash a secret, take out additional as needed. I actually have the belted one that is worn the same way but don’t access it in public either.

That’s a great idea! Similar to the money belt, but a lot cheaper!
