arrive and leave for the day. Reports have shown that bed bugs exist
even at the most luxury hotels in the United States and overseas. If
bags are left on the bed while out for a day of sightseeing, bed bugs
can seep into luggage and clothing.

go through hundreds of bags a day and contract germs. Some travelers
suggest wrapping your clothes in pressed plastic bags that zip up and
flatten to ensure your belongings remain untouched and sanitary. Also,
pack extra large plastics bags for items that may be damp or wet.
-- Wipes To The Rescue: Even when traveling without the kids always take a
package of wipes for use everywhere -- restrooms, eating on the go,
airplanes, cars, restaurants -- wipes are invaluable for spills,
stains, and germs.
