Handy Gadget

On my last trip I found this water boiler an absolute "must have!" Countless cups of tea were made with this. A lot of hotels in Europe didn't have  tea/coffee facilities in their rooms. For those who like milk in their beverages we found it easy to obtain powdered milk from shops so there was no need for refrigeration.

This pic is of the disposable toothbrush kit........very handy on a long haul flight.

Travel Tips

Some things I do on trips.

* roll my clothes up, takes up far less room and clothes are less crumpled.

* take 2 inflatable coat hangers, holds wet shirts apart so they dry quicker.

      "Coffee anyone?''       

(See "Handy Gadget")

*Take a mini heating element to boil water with, lots of hotels in Europe don't have tea and coffee making facilities. 

Preparation continues.....

Went shopping yesterday for some items needed for the trip, looked at all the travel size items like shampoo etc and picked up a packet of mini toothbrushes (disposable). They have a tiny peppermint bead in them and can be used to freshen up on the plane. What a great idea and you don't have to use water with them (see handy gadget post for pic).  Fortunately we have most things for travelling now but its good to keep a look out for new items!The less you can take the better!!!

BEFORE THE TRIP

Still making final preparations...lots to do yet!
