Spring break is quickly approaching, but before you flock south for the winter take with you some safety tips.
When checking in to hotels, book rooms above the first floor but below the sixth floor. Why? First floor rooms are easier to break into, and rooms above the sixth floor are sometimes too high for fire ladders to reach. If safes are provided use them for any valuables you may have. Keep doors and sliding doors locked, and don’t let anyone into your room unless you can trust them.
Always remember to bring your id when headed out. Clubs do check id’s… Forget yours and you can forget drinking. While drinking remember to pace yourself and avoid hard alcohol or other drinks that are powerful and have fast effects. Should a member of your group become intoxicated, never leave them alone. If they pass out, make sure they sleep on their side to prevent choking, and if their level of consciousness is too low to get a response, call 911.
