OK Fern, this is the third year in a row I've used the timeshare checklist that's posted on TUG. Everytime I come down to underwear, it says something about old underwear and "ask Fern". I'm asking Fern. What does this mean you sly dog Gemini?

You're gonna love this, sandcrab, and I won't answer for Fern. But I will say that whenever I am packing my underwear for a trip I think about Fern's advice and chuckle...

Ok, so here's the thing...
You know that old underwear you have in your drawers, the stuff that's in the back that you don't wear anymore cause its old, maybe a bit tattered or has loose elastic, etc? Its not totally hashed, but you don't wear it anymore. Well, here's what you do with it...
Take it on vacation with you! And then, after you wear it one more time, toss it! Don't bring it home, toss it out. You'll then have room to bring home another t-shirt or two for the kiddies or your own collection.
Don't forget to bring one or two sexy pair, too, so you have something to wear for "that special night," though...
I've done this on and off for years. Works really well, except if you are on a cruise. I've tossed panties in the room's trash, only to find them freshly laundered after the room steward left. The only way I could get rid of them was to secrete them in my purse and toss them in a public restroom

ROFLMAO!!
I KNEW IT!
Mom suggested this on our last trip. Thing is, if I'm not wearing it at home, why would I want to wear it on vacation? Other thing is, undies just don't take up that much room. I try to pack light so I'll have room for souvenirs that doesn't depend on leaving anything behind.
To each his own.

A couple of questions?
1. What do you do when you run out?
2. What happens if you have an accident on the road? My Mother always said to wear good underwear in case you have an accident when you are out. Don't want the Hospital folks to see you in worn underwear.

Shoes
I have a friend that takes his old shoes on vacation and disposes of them. Guess he keep a pair to wear home.

When I run out, I bring three sets of underwear. One to wear, one to wash, one to spare
When I'm on vacaion, I don't ever go to sleep with dirty underwear (I know, TMI). I wash it out and hang it out to dry.
My momma told me about the clean underwear thing, too. Mine's always clean, even if its not new. And if I had a serious accident, it might no longer *be* clean. But if it were that serious, I'd probably be unconscious anyway, so I wouldn't care.

Like the way you tied that in Frank "butts behind" and "old underwear".
Think I'm siding with Fern on this one. Bring along oldies but goodies and a few specials. I think I have two pair of water shoes that I'm going to leave here in St Croix. I have to leave them on the balcony due to the odor. I think it's the salt water but my wife thinks they smell the same at home on the lake. New tip: Pack baking soda for beach shoes and sneakers. Works at home anyway.

When we go to Hawaii, Kauai or Big Island we bring old comfy sneakers to hike in, and when we leave, we throw the sneakers out....usually covered in a bit of mud and red clay or lava dirt...works pretty well!Life is short, live it with this awareness.Comment

And I was certain that Fern's big underwear tip was going to be: bring only half of what you need and turn them inside out the second day... frankly I'm relieved
