Taking your DSLR is really a personal choice about whether you are comfortable traveling with expensive gear. Nothing can spoil a vacation faster than worry. Worrying about an expensive item that you brought on vacation is counter-productive to the concept of vacation. If you are going to worry about it, I would leave it at home. Not because it won't be safe (nobody can predict the future!) but because you shouldn't worry on vacation. That said, I travel with a waterproof PS that isn't exactly inexpensive. But, I don't worry about it. Same goes for your laptop/netbook, jewelry(I don't understand the need for expensive bling on vacation...), or even cash money. If it will cause you worry, leave it at home, you can surely do without it!
