Hotels Last Minute Deals

I pretty much came from nothing, but managed to get out in time to keep my sanity, educate myself, and make a decent honest lifestyle. I married and immediately moved away from family which was one of the best decisions of my life. Here’s the thing…
When I go home to visit, I have 2 choices:
1. Stay with family that will steal everything I have from panties (i know gross) to whatever they can get there hands on
2. Stay with a nice family member with a huge infestation
Another huge problem is that the minute I hit home my family does nothing but beg from me, and it gets irritating, so not only do I have to deal with the stealing, I get begged from the entire time. So I learned a while ago that it’s best for my husband and I to stay in hotels. Somehow my family still manages to steal things from me, and pretty much get me for something. I have never left home without something coming up missing before I get on the plane. I try so hard to plan my trip out wisely but somehow someway something gets stolen. Last year my ipod came up missing, and it was the touch and was my most favorite and was personally engraved by my husband.
Although I am staying in a hotel, what steps can I make to assure that I won’t get stolen from? I already bought a swingpack which you can out over the body and keep on you at all times.
My husband feels like I should leave every at home, my wedding ring, laptop, camera, ipod, and other things but that’s the reason we have it all. I have realized my family will never ever change so I have to take precautions, and be smart about everything.
