Sure it is fun to go for travels, I like travelling too. But it sure pays to have a few safeguards to avoid situations that will spoil your splendid vacation. I still recall an incident in Paris, France where my wife backpack was almost pick pocketed by a bunch of happy friendly kids in a deserted Metro underground. Fortunately, she felt the backpack straps were being unfasten and she quickly moved and turned around, foiling the would be thieves. I thank God that they didn't managed to get her purse buried deep in the backpack thus making it very difficult for them to reach in. Otherwise it would have really spoilt our trip. We could still laugh...
