Do you have any combo TSA locks you could use? It would serve a double purpose.

I wouldn't leave anything on the beach, its too hot, especially something with a large display screen. Leave it at home, or just bring a book. You're on vacation just enjoy the island.

many folks use the pac safe or the vacation vault or similar locking items with great regularity and great success.

i religiously use my vacation vault and lock it to the palapa on the beach and it stays safe and dry and since it is under the palapa roof it is not in the sun.

many folks too use the larger pacsafe that will hold their kindle, nook or ipad.
some folks instead of bringing a book bring the new ereaders and need to be able to secure them properly when entering the ocean for a dip.

to each their own -books, ereaders, pacsafes, vacation vault or nothing.......it's all about the individual's needs and wants.

arubalisa is right. a tsa approved lock is a combination lock. we use one on ours.

which nook do you have? i am so tempted to buy one. what do you think of it?

Amen. From the first time visitor, to honeymooners, to those traveling alone or with small children, to repeat offenders (such as myself), there's something for everyone. Aruba isn't a one size fits all paradise.

Regarding e-readers, I have a Kindle, and I would say nearly half the beach side readers had some sort of e-reader. Mine was easy to read, even in the brightest sunlight.

I do use a Vacation Vault for my camera, cash, cell phone and room key. I have a beach bag that zips up, so I just hooked my VV through the handles and onto my palapa. Chances are, I'd never need it, but it's a very inexpensive way to have peace of mind to guard against those who want to snatch and run. I stayed at the Hyatt this trip, and they had rented VV for $5/day according to the sign I saw at the towel hut.

I just received my PacSafe TravelSafe 20L Secure Portable Safe!
It is just a little smaller than a brown paper grocery bag. Plenty of room for a small laptop AND a DSL camera, plus lots of other items! It is lightweight and easy to secure. I was torn between the vacation vault and the pacsafe. Decided to go with the pacsafe to have more room. It also fits in a standard backpack! After a lot of searching, I found the cheapest place to be basegear.com. It is more expensive than the v.v. @ $64.99, but I wanted to feel that my camera was safe while in the water. So many to choose from! First trip to Aruba on Oct. 5......38 days to go!
