68. A laundry-saving tip suggests taking an ample supply of plastic bags to hold such things as soiled laundry, damp items and muddy shoes.

These will protect and save your clothing and pocketbook in various ways. Small bags are excellent for storing toilet articles, stationery items, and medicine.

You can also get specialized luggage storage space-saver, vacuum-type bags to maximize space in your suitcases and keep dirty and clean clothes separated and free from spills and leaks.

69. Take a clean set of underwear and one change of clothes in your on-board or carry-on luggage.

It should ideally be packed with any valuables and items necessary to keep you happy, healthy and clean in case your checked luggage is misplaced, delayed or worse, stolen!

70. Concerned about appearance and wrinkled clothing? Save on laundry costs

with ingenuity and innovative solutions. Think practical and be creative.

A frequent traveler suggests that if you travel with a small spray bottle, you can fill it with water, lightly spray the clothing, and let it hang for period. This usually helps the wrinkles fall out.

Another suggestion is hanging them in the bathroom while you take a hot shower or soak in the tub while the steam ‘irons’ out some of the creases.

Hand-washing underwear, nylons etc. and hanging them up overnight is another sure saver and old frequent traveler favorite that has often been passed on by word of mouth!
