People are helpful and I've never worried when staying in hotels, but I'm renting a studio in Prague then taking the train to Vienna. The apt. owner is supposed to meet me at the address and give me the keys. Guess that's better than the place I rented with a friend in Boston where the keys were left in the mailbox for the Boston Strangler to find. But then I was with a friend.
I somehow feel like I'm not "connected" to any place or person and suddenly that's a weird feeling. For instance, no one to borrow from when I lose my credit cards and cash. And no plane ticket to get me to my next destination. I guess Amex would come through
