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.

-- Wrap, Wrap, Wrap: TSA security guards wear gloves to keep sanitary but

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.
