                  backpack, I carry a plain school notebook that I've clearly 
                  labelled, "My Travel Notes." This is actually the book where 
                  I write my findings for future Journeywoman articles, in it 
                  I tape business cards that I collect along the way and I also 
                  include some personal photos that I share with hosts and sister-travellers. 
                  This notebook gets quite dog-earred as I travel and that is 
                  a deliberate tactic on my part. I don't want anybody to think 
                  it has any value.</p> <P><SPAN class="firstletter"><FONT color="#dc240a"><STRONG>N</STRONG></FONT></SPAN>ow,

                  that I will never be without money, I tape five $10.00 bills 
                  and an extra credit card to the inside cover of this notebook. 
                  Over it, I staple a copy of my itinerary which protects and 
                  hides this stash completely. Nobody ever suspects that there 
                  is money there and I sleep easier knowing that I always have 
                  a cash backup in case of foul play.
