When there is a safe in your hotel room, sometimes you will forget to bring your stuff out after you check out. The guide gives a very good suggestion and you will never forget to bring your stuff out. That is after putting your expensive stuff inside, also put a shoe in it and therefore you will remember to open the safe after you check out

But sometimes it's inconvenient for you to bring expensive stuff with you when you go to the beach

Good afternoon, youless. It is an interesting suggestion of yours. I read it with a smile on the face. But I am thinking how we shall walk if one of our shoes is placed in the safe box. I got it. Maybe you mean a shoe from the hotel? I mean, a hotel usually offers us a pair of slippers. So you mean one of the slippers? Anyway, I think it an interesting idea or suggestion. Thank you for it. Take care, youless.

It's really a great idea to share with us here youless Yeah, to put something in the safe of the hotel room which we must use before leaving the room. I believe the said guide has come across lots of forgetful customers during his period of service as a hotel guide. So he finally found such a good idea to help the customers. I think this was one of the interesting things you had encountered during your vacation. Happy posting

But I always prefer to have a travel without a guide. I like to go to anywhere at any time.

Hi Youless, A good idea, especially for laundry. In addition to the tips: First, put the goods in groups. Second, check each room before leaving.

I found many hotels have been prepared the safes for customers. Of couses, they are mostly belong to four stars hotel. The safe has a original password, such as 00000000 or 88888888. You can put your stuff in it and reset the password of your own. If you forget to bring your stuff out when you check out, the hotel's waiter will remind you to bing your stuff which locked in the safe. If you don't open the safe the hotel can't open it too. lol...

That is a great idea but usually the safes in the hotels/ships/etc... that I stay on are too small for that. I usually leave my keys... therefore I can't go anywhere even if I did forget to empty the safe. Great idea. Thanks Zelo

I usually stay in guest houses and sometimes in unusual accommodation like beach huts or tree houses. Sometimes there is a safe that is behind reception. In youth hostels lockers are often available in the dorm. I think that putting a shoe in the safe will mean you never forget your precious things when you check out. Happy traveling my friend You Less.

That's a really good idea! Wow! I learned something new today. I would be the person who forgot her stuff in the safe. Just this past month, when we were moving, we had to stay in a hotel room for one day. We brought important stuff into the hotel room; no safe. Just set it up on the dresser. Just the camcorder and such. I got so nervous just around check out time cause I didn't want to leave anything. I looked under the beds and everything. Almost ended up leaving one of my cats, cause he climbed up under the bed and crawled inside! LOL! Just kidding. He's my baby. Would never leave him. Mama cry big time if she lost her little man.

I used to travel all the time and I've never heard of a suggestion like this. It's a good one, though. Did the kids enjoy the trip? How did they make out during the delay? I hope youall found something to do during that time. I just hope youall had a good time altogether. Kathy.

We enjoyed our trip. The airlines arranged a hotel for us because of the delay. After that, there is a compensation and therefore it's alright.

I never have seen a safe in a motel room, either. This must be something new. Kathy.

Hi Youless, One other tips. Never bring something important with you when you are outside and traveling. lol.Just kidding, there are some important things that you can tell with you. I think the best way is to leave them in the place that you can see if when you leave. Or leave a note on the screen of the TV with some code word to remind yourself.
