ya, that did dawn on me as soon as I posted it. Personally I don't like to be "connected", my phone stays off and no laptop or other devices make the trip. I bring one credit card that has about 4 or 5 hundred bucks open on it for unanticipated expenses, thats all. I had a credit card skimmed a few visits ago, the thiefs are getting pretty sophisticated even in "poormans paradise".
