marvellous products on

the market today to
make travel easier.
Consider:

Zip-Loc bags. The large
size Seal-in wet bathing suits
and dirty laundry. Small
ones hold wet washcloths
and powdered soap.

_ Woolite. Sure’ does a.
better job on your laundry
than the sliver of soap
provided by hotels,

Shampoo in a
Several brands available.
Look for the kind that’s
about the consistency of
tooth paste so it can't leak all
over your suitcase. Liquid
shampoo is next to im-
possible to rinse out of
clothing. I had a bottle spht
once and I had_ bubbles
rolling out the bathroom
door as 1 rinsed, and rinsed.
and —.

Shampoo; is a good sub-
stitute for spot remover on
washable garments. It’s
designed to cut grease.

Nail polish remover pads
Each pad 1s firmly sealed in
tinfonl and ts adequate for
one use only. Liquid nail
polish remover dissolves
many synthetic fabrics - just
ask my oldest daughter
where she got that hole in
her new beach robe. Yep'
She wrapped the bottle of
nailpolish remover in- the
robe so it wouldn't break. It
only leaked.

Disposable, prepasted
toothbrushes Many fancy
restrooms provide
dispensers of these af you

provided for first class
passengers on most airlines

“Wash-n-Dry” packets.

of packing but so great to
have in your purse or pocket

Photocopiers. Duplicate
your credit cards, birth
certificate and passport

statisiic pages. Keep a copy
in your suitcase and another

Address labels With your
own mame, ete they are
handy to give to new frends
to paste in their address
books. Better than business
cards because they're harder
to lose.

and addresses speed up the
mailing of postcards
