Purchasing Travel Accessories
 
What is the best place to purchase travel accessories like money belts, TSA locks, plug adapters/converters, etc. etc. I was looking at Rick Steve's Travel Store at the recommendation of someone on this message board but others also recommended Target, Walmart, etc. etc. I prefer one stop shopping.

Try Travel Smith www.travelsmith.com or Magellans's www.magellans.com

Raleigh-if you go into most any luggage store in the mall, it will sell those accessories as well.

Do you mean online shopping or at a store?

As suggested above, a regular luggage store will have all those things.

No luggage stores here but I love Magellan's.

I guess I was not being practical when I said "one stop shopping." Rick Steve's online store had a money belt that he said that he designed. Has anyone ever tried his moneybelt? Although I have been to Hawaii a couple of times (11 hour trip), I have never worn a money belt. Are they uncomfortable to wear overnight on the plane or do you wait until you arrive to put it on. Sorry to seem like such a dim witted novice.

No worries, a moneybelt is only for when you are in large cities (or dodgy small ones I suppose) where pickpocketing is a risk. On a flight, I keep my items in my purse or luggage.
It's best to look through all of the sites to compare each item.
