Perhaps this is in the wrong category, but I don't know exactly where to place it. Mods, feel free to move me.
I am appeasing the wife's desire to see the world. As such, we are heading for a trip to the Dominican Republic.
I'm in the process of gathering what I can to keep myself safe/secure while making it through the TSA without issues as well.
Where I'm stuck-- a wallet and passport security. Are RFID readers really an issue for my passport (yes, i have a newer one with the chip)?
I'm considering getting a hidden wallet/waist strap to keep my real money/license/photocopy of passports, and keep a 'dummy' wallet in my front pocket with a little bit of cash but otherwise disposable in case of a 'stick up'.
And then there's going to the beach. What do you do with your passport? Trust the room safe? There is one available at the resort we are going to stay in for an extra cost ($30). Is it even worth buying and putting the passports in there? I feel safer with it on my person, but i also want to enjoy the water and not leave things on the beach either.
Photocopies have been made and my parents will have a copy, as well as storing them to a password protected pdf on my google drive account so they could be downloaded anywhere.
Would love to hear some suggestions and product links you guys have used in the past.
