Does anybody else bring throw away clothes?
When I go on vacations or cruises, I bring some casual clothes
that still look OK but are just starting to get a little frayed. I will also bring some sox and underwear and even casual shoes that are starting to look a little tired. I sometimes go to the dollar store to buy new sox underwear. All of the above are throw away clothes. I will throw them away or leave them behind. If I leave them behind without putting them in the waste basked, I make sure to tell the maid/steward that I don't want them anymore. Bringing throw away clothes leaves more room to bring new purchases back. Besides that, If my hotel/ship does not have a self service laundry, I have found it's often cheaper to buy new clothes than to have clothes laundered. Of course, I don't wear any throw away clothes on formal night. I also make sure to have some new good quality underwear in case I get lucky at the singles gathering. |

Does anybody else bring throw away clothes?
LOL - I do that too. "Bring and throw away old clothes".
I only ever take carry-on luggage with me. Besides as I get older [cough] that's all I can carry with me anyway, what with sprained ankles and whatever else I've done to myself before the vacation this year. I go to these conventions once a year and we get these goodie bags full of goodies. So I need to clear out space in my luggage before I can pack to go home. I usually toss the shampoo bottle and other cosmetic items too. I never get hassled by Customs either, as I don't have tons of suitcases, so obviously I can't have bought a lot of items. I like to buy clothes in the US, as in my country the fashions are for Asian size 0, and I can't find anything that fits. But in the US, I can find TONS of clothes that fit me. ~Melanie |

We always pack about 1/2 of the casual daywear that we anticipate we will need because we always buy t-shirts or tropical wear at various ports along the way. And we always pack our suitcases only 1/2 full. That leaves room for all the extra clothes we have aquired, plus lots of souvenirs. |

LOL I am planning for a World Cruise length cruise to use disposable underwear that one travel supplies company sells. It is a laundry saving thing. |

I do that too...and also bring paperback novels from the annual book fair
and leave them in the room or the library when I'm done. It does free up space for other stuff to bring home. Thought I was pretty much alone in doing this, my traveling companions don't do it.
