I have always travelled with Huggies brand disposable washcloths. I found them when our grandchidren were babies and really like them. They have a lavender and chamomile scented one. It elimates the use of soap and they are made gentle for babies so mild on my skin as well. I like that I can carry them on the plane and use in the morning after a long overnight flight to freshen up prior to landing. They also make them with no soap for those who prefer their own brand of soap or to use as a mini towel.

My accordion, never know when you want to bust out a tune . Just kidding. How do you all pack that much stuff ? One suitcase each and a carry-on. Thats all i will bring. Dont buy souvenirs , but i might take a few pics. We come back with less than what we brought.We leave stuff behind that we dont necessarily want anymore and somenone else may find useful.
