Unusual things you travel with

I bring a cup for the bathroom, because the hotels give you those
flimsy plastic things.

A (small) cutting board and a paring knife. Good for
cutting cheeses and other local goodies for a nice early
evening snack on the patio/beach/balcony/sea wall. Throw
in some local vino helps too.

Moist towelettes, the kind they give you a cheap
sea food restaurants, for cleaning up after tasting
local foods "in the wild".

Small plastic storage containers to put in foods
that want to be stored for a day or so, like cheese
and fruit and stuff.

A wide variety of "zip-lock" kinda bags, from
sandwich size up to about 2.5 gallon. Dirty clothes,
stored food, half drunk bottles of wine, etc. all
store well in them for travel. Keeps paper work
and maps dry in the rain too.

Zip-ties, for fastening my bag zips to prevent casual tampering, and,
well, all sorts of stuff!

I bring a cup for the bathroom, because the hotels give you those

I like having something to fiddle with, which is either a small
set of Islamic prayer beads made of magnetite or an egg-sized
rubber brain that was given away as a keyfob to promote an anti-
schizophrenia drug. I've often been heard to say "I can't find
my brain!" when packing.

And now of course my electric bagpipes:

Paring knives are out because of carry on baggage and who travels with
luggage these days? And I am quite astonished to read that you can
store a half drunk bot of wine in a "zip-lock" !
I mean whoever heard of storing a half drunk bot of vino ! ? ! Drink
it up.
I always travel with a Koran in case of hijacking. And a false beard.

People who want to travel with "dangerous" items like pocket
knives, nail files, and cork screws (oh, yeah, yer suppose to be
able to carry on a cork screw, but there's always the TSA
agent on a power trip to deal with).

And I am quite astonished to read that you can

It's why they invented corks.

We do, the next evening, with some more cheese.

These are essential for any non-first world country, along with
disinfectant.

Baby wipes work better than the towelettes, and you can seal some
in a zip-loc storage bag.



Heck of an idea. What's on them things?
