Make a duplicate for your desktop for when you bring the other one with you. Keep the drive on your person at all times. If you're going to the pool at a hotel, put it in the hotel safe.
Where exactly is that USB port on an iPad or iPhone? And, you trust the hotel safes?

No thank you, I'll go with a purpose-built commercial solution from a reputable vendor that features an encrypted file stored in the cloud.
