I wouldn't rely on online services for storing your bitcoins.

The safest method would be an encrypted wallet on a usb thumb drive.

As long as your computer is connected to the internet and you have the latest Bitcoin client installed you should have no problem transferring funds.

Yes it's much more secure to keep them in an encrypted wallet on a thumb drive or even on your computer. Have you read any bit coin news? Bit coinica just got hacked twice and the first time they got ripped off for 43,000 bit coin. The second time, just a few days ago, they got jacked for 18,000 bit coin
