Like many of you, I am suffering from Covid fatigue and can’t wait to travel again. In the meantime, we can dream of far away places and prepare for the day again when we can go again. Making some small purchases now can help make your trip more comfortable in the future.
When I travel to places like Guatemala and the Philippines, I often stay in small hotels or bed and breakfast accommodations. I don’t know how true this is in other parts of the world, but one thing I ran into several times is that these places often lack two things: a plug for the sink and washcloths. Even some of the larger resorts and hotels have lacked washcloths. Now I’m sure to take a universal plug and a washcloth wherever I travel.
A washcloth is pretty self explanatory. Most of us know what they are.
A universal sink plug or stopper, however, may be unfamiliar to you. I can’t tell you how many times I had to stuff a washcloth (often my own because I said, the hotel didn’t have them) or towel in the sink to wash up and shave. Be sure to buy a flat one as it will fit most sinks and tubs. Here is a picture of one:
