We have been so fortunate. We have always been warned about the pick pockets in Italy, and have had friends that have lost their wallets, but we have always taken the advice of previous travelers and been very careful. In London, there have been bomb scares on the subway -- but those have been handled professionally, quickly, and safely. We have traveled extensively to El Salvador where the warnings seem daunting, but have never experienced anything but friendly, helpful people and have felt very safe. Common sense must rule when traveling -- and maybe some luck, don't you think?
