Helmets Spreading Head Lice
Odysseus wrote: Actually, I bring my own mask and snorkel. It's not because of germs. It's because my own equipment fits me. No leaky mask for me. I bring my own, too. I bring my mask specifically because of fit (I have a very small, narrow face and getting a good seal is tough) but I like my own snorkel because, I admit, I get a little grossed out at the thought of putting something in my mouth that who knows how many others have done the same. But, also, my snorkel is a little techier than the ones they usually supply on snorkel tours so I bring my own for that reason as well. Sometimes I bring my own fins, but if space is tight in the suitcase, it's the fins that get left home first. I don't mind borrowing them. Lee |

Lee When I go cruising, with an opportunity to scuba, I bring my mask, hood, regulator, exposure suit, dive computer, nitrox computer, dive booties, fins, dive belt and soft weights, dive socks, UW light, UW camera, dive bag to hold those and miscellaneous other dive gears. As prepared as I am, I not as well prepared as W.C. Fields, who said he brings flasks for his spirits and plenty of supply for replentishment. For medicinal reasons in case of a snake bite. He also brings a little snake, in case it is needed. He doesn't worry about head lice at all because his breath would fumigate any little creatures of that kind. -- Bob. |

Helmets Spreading Head Lice
Thus spake Earl Colby Pottinger :
Odysseus : Let me make a list of everything I need to bring on my cruise. Note: most can be found in small spray bottles that are easy to carry. 1. Anti-bacterial detergent to clean the mask and snorkel If you are going put something like this into you mouth, maybe it is not such a bad idea. 2. Fungicide to clean the fins Don't know if it will work if you are going into water, maybe after you are back at your cabin some power on your foot will not hurt and may save you from a future mess. 3. Lice spray to clean helmets I am bald 4. Disinfectant to clean my cabin Not that would be an insult to the cleaning staff! I hope! 5. Anti-bacterial wipes to clean my hands before eating Small, easy to carry. If not you parents with small children should consider it. 6. Disposable gloves so that I don't have to touch any surface another passenger did. Now that is going too far ........ I hope! 7. Cover for the airplane headrest to protect from who knows what. Considering how greasy somepeople heads are, a towel in your carry-on might not be a bad idea. I'm going to end up being like Howard Hughes in the later years of his life. It is still ok if you also end up as rich as he was! He died rich and miserable. As opposed to poor and miserable. There's got to be a middle ground. Earl Colby Pottinger -- dillon I didn't climb to the top of the food chain to become a vegetarian. |
