Where abouts in India are you going? The last time I went back home to India was several years ago. I am half Indian (from Kashmir) and half Russian. How long will you be staying in India. If you have any questions concerning India, please feel free to send me PM. I would be more than happy to speak with you.

A lot of places/countries do not take travelers checks.Most places do have ATM's

I think you're getting advice for two distinct types of passport holders. The first is just a spot to hold boarding passes and passport, sometimes worn around the neck. The second type is the one to take with you when shopping, etc. The second type is frequently hidden underneath another garment to be more resistant to pickpockets which are VERY common in India. If your husband is on business, I doubt he's going to want to put his passport around his neck! For the airplane part of the trip, I just leave my passport and boarding passes in a special pocket that's in my carryon bag. Easy to get to yet out of the way. When I'm in the foreign country, I leave my passport in my briefcase (which I carry with me) or in my pocket (when I'm just shopping or out for dinner). The interior pockets you pin into your clothes are very useful, and I made some for my daughter the first time she travelled internationally - she loved them! They weren't obvious and didn't scream "tourist".

Which type did you want to make?

Whatever one you decide to use ~ you might think about lining your pouch with aluminum foil. There are so many people out there willing to steal your info with their fancy scanner machines. Don't make it easy for them..I either watch too many detective shows or I am just getting paranoid these days..either way..its better to be safe than sorry.

I found a little metal pouch at Target to put your credit cards in and such. I think it was less than $5..in the travel accessories.
