TRAVEL SECURITY – CRIMES AGAINST TRAVELLERS
Recently I attended a personal security seminar presented by a humorous ‘Cop’ from Georgia. He relayed the following tips – some may be repeats but I share them to stress the importance of each of them.
1. Only carry one credit card on your person at any one time.
2. Always lock RV doors in a campground when you are not at home.
3. If stopping in a mall or truck stop, etc.. ALWAYS park with your RV door facing the cameras and/or the people – not to the spacious outside grassy area. It gives not-so-nice people privacy to make your life difficult.
4. NEVER stop at a rest area during evening or overnight hours.

SEVERAL ADDITIONAL SUGGESTIONS
*** If you break down on the highway and must call your ERS, this ‘cop’ also suggested that you Call 911 And/Or The State Highway Police so they know you are stranded on the side of the road while waiting for service. (*CELL phone numbers to call State Police are posted along the interstates).
***Always Keep Others Informed Of Your Wherabouts. For instance, if you stop at a rest area, let each other know where you’re going and how long you expect it to be gone – such as to pick-up a map or visit the washroom, etc.
***Only Open Your Car Door For Police In Uniform – request to see ID.
*** Check with police stations to ask if?? they have a sign ‘Call Police’. Hang it out the side window. Design one on your own if you can’t find one.
* **To make it difficult for ‘pick-pockets’, men should Always wrap a FAT elastic around their wallet or carry a small comb in it from side to side. If someone tries to remove the wallet, the elastic or the comb will catch on the fabric alerting you to a problem.

INFORM CREDIT CARD COMPANIES THAT YOU ARE LEAVING YOUR HOME
Occasionally banks add a security hold to Credit Cards when they are tried to be used outside your residential area. It is no big deal. All you must do is call the card company and inform them where you are travelling. Any hold is released immediately. Not all banks add this HOLD but a pre-trip phone call prevents embracement during your trip.

PROMO THIS WEEK
INTERNET SATELLITE DISH – I frequently share the value of being on line 24/7 thanks to my wonderful Internet Satellite Dish. But last weekend, because I was visiting family, I connected using my cell phone for 3-days. Ohhhhh it is soooooo slow. My inbox froze more than once while large jokes tried to came in – sometimes it took 20 minutes. Whatever I attempted to do it seemed I was almost working backwards. Read the complete story of my fabulous Dish – or contact Tech Mobile Communications and Wireless (TMCW): (Formerly
