Travel Ideas



I always have these in my luggage and they are quite useful in fact:

1. NET BAG- I always pack our clothes in net bags. I designate a set for this function: travel in vogue and comfort. The net bag provides a secured space for the ironed clothes to remain neat and intact. Since we are travelling tomorrow to Honolulu, Hawaii I did my packing tonight and made sure all the clothes are zipped in these bags. You'd be amazed with the magic it brings, so try on!

2. "TABO"- Our very own TABO (pronounced as TAH-BO) or "water dipper" in English. For Caucasians and other people from cross-cultural groups who do not know this, have not seen one, is naive about its use~ listen to this: we Filipinos, Japanese and Thais use this to clean our private parts after we peed or pooped. Get that? Hahaha! We use this when there is no bidet in the place we live in, travel to or stay in for the moment. How to use it? First, pour water in the TABO; second, wash your (you know what) with soap and water; third, dry yourself with toilet paper. Voila, you smell like a newborn baby in your mother's arms! Tee-ha.

Ever since LBB (Little Boy Blue) has been accustomed to using this since we got married, he can't travel without this item for his own comfort and sanity as a humanbeing, mind you! So I always make sure that his TABO comes in handy and in his luggage when he is on business trips. Learning to use the TABO and having a new brand of hygiene is what he has learned being married to me who is from Asian heritage (translation: we Filipinos in general are very clean, not only in our homes but in our own make up as people, especially in our southern part (haha)!


3. TRAVEl BIDET-
This is battery operated and works like a mini sprinkler. This is made in Japan. This is a very hi-tech instrument to clean your butt (smile)! To work with this, you need to pour water on the reservoir on the side and then there is a part where you can press it on so the water could come out. It's neat!



This is almost like the bidet in many homes and establishments in Thailand, Japan and the Philippines. This was given to me by husband. He ordered this TRAVEL BIDETonline, shipped from Las Vegas for a good price but it is worth every penny paid for it.


When we traveled internationally last December, it really served us well when had to go to the loo as it brings in hygiene in the utmost level of standards plus of course, when we are clean down there (laughs)we feel at ease and comfortable~ battling the 19-hour journey from east to west. This is all folks. I need to sleep for my 6-hours journey to the Pacific Islands tomorrow. ALOHA!
