Be Safe - Carry Essentials in a Wrist Wallet !

For an investment of just fifteen dollars, you can put your mind at ease while traveling in Italy.  You can put your credit cards and Euros in this cool wrist wallet, available on the Sprigs website (http://www.sprigsville.com/banjees/index.html) and at other places on-line and in stores.  No thief is even going to know what this is, let alone try to rip it off your wrist.  It avoids having to dig into your purse all the time, and it allows you to carry non-essentials only in your purse (umbrella, guide books, maps, water bottle, spare camera batteries, etc.), assuming your have your passport in an ankle or waist wallet, that is.  I would NEVER put my passport in my purse, by the way - NEVER EVER!  More on passport safety in a future post...  Just thought I'd spread the word about these awesome wrist wallets.  I absolutely loved using mine on this most recent trip to Italia.
