Just wondering if anyone has thought about locking their bags/suitcases. I have a friend who went to peru recently and the valuable stuff on the top of the bag was stolen. Do you think we should put padlocks on them? Will there be hassle in the US if we do that? Any ideas?
What happens on other tours, anyone out there been to one before, or if Sheena is reading this?

Welcome to the Advocates' Peru Tour website.
Here you can keep up to date with the activities of our group of advocates as we travel to Peru from the 5th to the 16th of February 2008 to see the work of Compassion.
Advocates are sponsors with a heart for our ministry who volunteer some of their time on an ongoing basis to promote Compassion in their churches and within their spheres of influence.
The team will spend time meeting staff and children in projects, visiting the homes of Compassion sponsored children, seeing how the country office operates and meeting formerly sponsored children. We will try to update the site each day whilst we are in Peru and we hope you find it interesting. Enjoy!

If you have your case locked it'll be broken open if someone needs to see inside and you're not around to open it: remember the guitar story I posted earlier! Anyway, I've never seen a suitcase lock that a three-year-old child with a toothpick couldn't open, they're not known for being all that strong. And if you put something stronger on there it might raise the curiosity threshold and people might be more interested to see what you're protecting. Truthfully I'm not sure, but I won't be locking mine.
Al.
You can get padlocks that US customs can open. I think they are called TSA approved locks / Travel Sentry. They are widely available and have a red and white symbol sort of triangular/diamond shaped on them. I got mine in John Lewis but you get them most places.
Thanks guys, will think about it. Wow its coming up soon, butterflies and all that!!
