I found these tips to be especially helpful and thought I'd pass them along to everyone...

Personal Security in Hotels Rooms:

1. Do not discuss your business or travel plans in public areas where they may be overheard. Discuss your travel plans and movements during your stay with as few people as possible.

2. Selecting a hotel room on the third to fifth floor generally will keep you out of reach of criminal activity from the street but still within reach of most fire truck ladders.

3. Do not entertain strangers in your hotel room.

4. Be alert to overly friendly locals who may have criminal intentions. They may offer to take you to a “special” restaurant. Their ruse may be to offer drugged refreshments.

HMMM#2 seens to put you in a lot of stairwells ....that's spooky...maybe hotels with entrances inside the building would be safer than motels with room doors on the exterior.

All very good points. My only complaint is #3. I have to entertain strangers no matter where I do it, strange people are the only ones that hang out with me.

My doctor says as long as the voices in my head keep talking I'll never be alone.He also said something about not always doing what they tell me but the voices tell me not to trust my doctor

I've learned from watching CSI that you don't want a room near the stairwell.
Second and third floors are better for drying dive gear out on the balcony.

Damn! Well there goes the happy hours on dive trips... Oh wait, you said strangers, not strange people! Never mind!

Whew! Michelle, you scared me for a moment! If we couldn't let strange people into our happy hours, I am afraid we have to stop having them, no one would show up!
