Diving Off the High Dive

I'm getting ready for our trip to Brazil. I will not be taking anything technological nor anything personal of value, because of the risk of theft in the area where we are traveling. So this will mean:
no iPhone or other phone to maintain connections,
no computer,
no iPod,
no Kindle,
no camera,
no wedding ring,
and no other jewelry.
Instead, a fake purse and wallet to offer up to street thieves.
