Dry Bathroom Products Side-step Airline Liquids Ban

Solid Shampoo BarAirline Travel is getting increasingly restrictive (if not complicated) for travelers wanting to stick to carry-on only. While to most of us, its an annoyance and inconvenience, for Round the World travelers the concern of lost luggage (here’s a deal to get new stuff if that’s happened to you) can be a major setback, to say the least.

  • Ask Aunt Martha to loan you some
  • Go completely without. (Not much of a choice for most of us, unless you wanna grow some dreads.)
