Staying at a Hotel? very good info be sure to read

Always take a small magnet on your holiday; they come in handy at the end of it. Thought you all needed to know this…. This is  pretty good info. Never even thought about key cards containing anything other than an access code for the room!  

HOTEL  KEY CARDS
 
Ever wonder what is on your magnetic key card?

Answer:
a.  Customer’s name
B.  Customer’s partial home address
c.  Hotel room number
d.  Check-in date and out dates
e. Customer’s  credit card number and expiration date!

When  you turn them in to the front desk your personal information is there for  any employee to access by simply scanning the card in the hotel scanner..
An  employee can take a hand full of cards home and using a scanning device,  access the information onto a laptop computer and go shopping at your  expense.

Simply  put, hotels do not erase the information on these cards until an employee reissues the card to the next hotel guest. At that time, the new guest’s  information is electronically ‘overwritten’ on the card and the
previous guest’s information is erased in the overwriting  process.

But  until the card is rewritten for the next guest, it usually is kept in a 
drawer at the front desk with YOUR INFORMATION ON IT!

The  bottom line is: Keep the cards, take them home with you, or destroy them.  NEVER leave them behind in the room or room wastebasket, and NEVER turn them  into the front desk when you check out of a room.
They will not charge you  for the card (it’s illegal) and you’ll be
sure you are not leaving a lot of  valuable personal information
on it that could be easily lifted off with any simple scanning device card reader.

For the  same reason, if you arrive at the airport and discover you still have the card key in your pocket, do not toss it in an airport trash basket.
Take it  home and destroy it by cutting it up, especially through the
electronic  information strip!

If you  have a small magnet, pass it across the magnetic strip several times.
Then  try it in the door, it will not work. It erases everything on the  card.

HERES YOUR SECOND TIP OF THE DAY….When ever or Where ever you decide to fly to and stay ….you will be needing a good set of luggage or maybe just a carry on piece…with that in mind…check out this link for the best buys @ http://www.heresyourluggage.com  Read what others have to say when you stop by.

I never go anywhere without a good set of luggage to store my most fashionable apparrel. Well, I don’t now anyway. There’s a story behind my committment to sturdy luggage and it’s a bad story. Here’s the deal - I once went on a trip and stored all my clothes in an open duffel bag. It turns out a flock of birds decided to fly over. I couldn’t believe it, but the birds ended up defecating all over my bag! I was mortified and even more embarrassed when my friends, who had stopped by the airport to pick me up started laughing at me.

My life was almost ruined that day and my pride was in pretty bad shape too. Eventually I got over it and bought two new luggage sets. I wanted to start anew, to pack away all my old bird doo baggage. So I did - and it saved my life.

My husband loves to golf and it almost ruined our marriage. It’s not what you think; an affair with a sexy, young caddy or too many cans of beer on the course. Our problem was much worse I must admit. I’ll be straight with you - I almost ruined his favorite pastime by polishing his gold clubs with jewelry cleaner. Yeah I know, golf clubs aren’t diamond earrings, but what did he expect - they were dirty! When Mitzel discovered that I had cleaned his precious clubs, he accused me of trying to turn him into a girl. He actually said, “should I put on a tutu and some lipstick?”

Our marriage suffered badly. For nearly two hours we didn’t even hum together (one of our favorite pastimes) and later that night he didn’t even feed me my favorite snack: sardines. Truly, I felt lost. That night I had a dream that I would buy him a golf bag travel cover to make up for my indiscretion. The next day I did and Mitzel cried tears of joy. That night he met me on the couch with sardines in hand! He even dipped them in my favorite condiment: ketchup! Love was in the air that night!

Coleman Adventure Traveler luggage is a godsend for anyone who’s spent any time on the road.  My job takes me all over the country, and I swear I must spend a third of my waking hours at the airport.  It’s truly convenient when you have everything you need or want right at your fingertips, well organized and ready for use.

It certainly doesn’t hurt that this is built to last, either.  If I had a dollar for every time security pulled me aside to go through my stuff…but even through all of the airport abuse and unwelcome intrusions, this bag is still going strong without so much as a single loose thread.

One of the classic graduation gifts of all time is a luxurious luggage set; I got a premium set of Coleman’s Fine Travelware for mine. Graduating from high school, college, or trade school is such a hopeful time, and we all want our favorite graduate to be able to see the world in style. A quality set of luggage is one of those things younger people don’t always consider when they are acquiring their initial real-world necessities.

There are many other reasons to give luggage as a gift or replace your current set. Maybe you need a larger set of luggage, are planning a longer trip, or need updated luggage that fits the most recent regulations for air travel. Luggage is often a much-appreciated wedding gift, but there are other times that luggage may be an appropriate present-a loved one is taking her first international trip, or a dear friend decides to embark on a cruise after his divorce has become final.  Luggage can be part of a celebration and mark not only a vacation, but a journey into a new phase of life

There are countless options for luggage today, and choosing the right set can be daunting. One of the most trusted manufacturers when it comes to durable, top-of-the-line sets is Coleman. The Coleman Voyage 3 PC Set has all of the bags that you’ll need for your next long-distance trip.

The Voyager set includes three large bags constructed of quality polyester and reinforced with PVC backing. All of the bags come equipped with in-line wheels, push-button handle and mesh pocketing, which allows for maximum capacity. With this one set you’ll have all of the space that you need to pack for the whole family.
