Stay alert at all times. If someone makes you uncomfortable, change seats. If the person won't leave you alone, hit the emergency alarm or alert the driver. Observe the people getting off at your stop. If you feel uncomfortable, go to the next stop or go quickly to an area where there are other people.
Travel Safely Get recommendations for lodging in safe areas.
Talk to a travel agent you trust or your auto club. Get a guaranteed reservation if possible. Choose hotels that have electronic key systems where the rooms are re-keyed after guests check out. Do not pack anything that you cannot afford to lose. Travelers checks are a safer alternative than cash.
