Thank you, Elizabeth, as this was our experience, too.
For those who don't use them, that's your choice and I respect that, but knowing of someone who actually lost a wallet full of cash (along with his credit cards.....)

At least they are easily replaceable. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />
