+1 Shampoo bottles love to leak. Always put shampoo in zip lock!

Cheers skip

I have most liquids in my toiletry bag in an individual ziplock bag.
All liquids tend to leak when depressurised.

Some rather basic ones there. This old 'wear old undies then chuck them when away' - clearly I am unusual as I like buy new ones for trips. I dont like seeing my old daggy undies hanging in the bathroom to dry.

Oh, bought some of those dryer tumbler sheets - they are currently making my laundry smell wonderful.

The first one is a bit odd. Don't fill your bag and take money to buy stuff while you are away. But if you have room to bring extra stuff back, you have room to take it over, and save yourself the money!

I was always told these sheets are pretty toxic and to not use them (they suggest you wash your hands after handling them, not sure if the heat of a dryer changes anything).

On my forthcoming US trip which is just 3 nights I'll manage with minimal luggage so intend to have carry on bag. Looking to breeze thru check in at SYD and arrival at LAX and also domestic airport.

Why do I have to sacrifice my luggage allowance so the bottles of lotions and potions can travel. How many shades of the one colour does one need?

........ How many shades of the one colour does one need?

But how many of them can actually be worn together without clashing?

Happy wandering

Drone???????

Drone???????

I too wondered about this.

Presumably Swanning meant phone, but his autocorrect has picked up frequent use of the word drone... Curiouser and curiouser

I have never looked back since I started wearing Bluffworks pants while travelling.
They hardly ever crease and supposedly can be worn ten days straight without washing.
I originally purchased them through their kickstarter campaign.

I like it but the they have limited sizes at the moment. (not meant for giants?)

Never been to USA, so this is useful as I would like to go to USA next year.

Is this only available in Dublin? Or other ports?

Old post I know but you can do this in Abu Dhabi as well flying EH - did it at Xmas, very efficient

Well, most of that is stating the bleeding obvious to me. I bet she's in F and wearing jarmies too, not "loose fitting clothes".
