Categories:1 2 [Next]- Always take with you a small film container filled with baking soda. It's great for treating an unexpected tooth pain - just mix a teaspoon with a half teaspoon of salt, dissolve in a glass of water, and rinse the mouth well for 3-4 minutes. It's a natural and harmless way to ease the pain until you get to the dentist's. You can also add a drop of iodine in the glass, if you have it. 25-Aug-2005 Maria ID1851 - What to do with that bubble wrap? Pack it for wrapping breakables. 5-Mar-2002 Patricia Koritta ID466 - When traveling to a destination where I know I will doing a lot of shopping, I pack a collapsible suitcase or duffel bag in my checked luggage. It doesn't take up much room and when returning home, I fill it with my dirty laundry and pack my new stuff or any breakable items in my regular suitcase. Or you could just pack your things in a medium suitcase that fits inside a larger suitcase - either way you'll have two suitcases available and only have to carry one to your destination. 5-Jun-2001 Kyra Achee ID234 - Make sure that you have no excess baggage. Get rid of old claim checks and outdated identification tags before you travel. Also take off shoulder straps, add-a-bag straps, hanging hooks, and anything else that could get ripped or knocked off during a flight, if you are checking your luggage. Today's Luggage 18-Dec-2003 Today's Luggage ID1711 - Collect old clothes throughout the year - I have a box just for that purpose - wear them and leave them behind. This is a great use for stuff that didn't sell at your last rummage sale - and benefits the people of the country you're visiting. Just be sure to leave a note for the maid if you leave the stuff in your room - she might not be able to keep them if she can't prove you intended to leave them behind. In more developed countries, look for a charity shop. In England I took a huge bag of stuff to the local Oxfam Shop at the end of my trip and they were thrilled to get it. I did a good deed and had lighter luggage - and no stinky laundry to do when I got home! 6-Jun-2004 Mark Dean ID1628 Would You Like to Add a Travel Tip?We welcome QUALITY travel tips from our users.Note: you will be required to enter the characters from a security image, so please make sure that you have your browser set to view images.
