Great stuff from Martin, as usual.



Whenever I travel I carry a few packets of liquid Woolite, a sink stopper, 4mm cord + safety pins (= clothesline), $3-$4 in quarters, and some powdered laundry detergent. This gives me a full range of laundry options from handwashing to machine washing. So far TSA has not had a problem with these items.

If the dress code allows, I only bring 2-3 days of clothes and plan on washing them every couple days. Works well, especially if you don't have to run around in a suit & tie.
