    I would love to take my laptop on holiday but I worry about where I would keep it when out and about? The safes aren't big enough to store a laptop. How will you keep it safe?

    Lock it in your luggage

    That's where a Net Book or iPad come in usefull, these are small enough to fit in most safes, we take a Net Book.

    not sure if you have thought of charging it but we now also take a 4 plug extension socket with us, that way you only need 1 adaptor and can charge all the phones / ipods at the same time

    A word of warning - I took my laptop last Christmas to Spain - what's the problem I hear you ask - well, when they asked me to take it out of the bag at security I was told to put it into one of those plastic boxes on its own. Didn't I only go and leave it behind at the airport (it was in the plastic box underneath my laptop case, cardi, passport, shoes etc). After a few phone calls from Spain a lovely lady called Marie at Newcastle Airport Customer Services posted it on to me - it cost £58 to have it posted. She would have held onto it for me for my return but I was taking it over there as a gift for my granddaughter so had to have it, plus, its amazing how much personal and private information there is on a laptop if anyone can get past your password, even if you've deleted all the important stuff.
