Well yes. Because they are exceptionally light, hence easy to hoof around, have a nice leash to make losing them tricky (let&#146;s face it, you&#146;re in Amsterdam, and losing your key will be a pretty sure thing), and they don&#146;t deactivate if you stick them next to your phone, as cards juliab 2009-11-10T09:44:25-05:00 Search HotelChatter string http://www.hotelchatter.com/search/
