Bahama Mama, I have had my luggage opened two times and I was so glad that I had placed everything in ziplocks. I do not want anybody else handling my things.
It was opened officially as I had an official note placed inside of the luggage when I opened it.
Target has large ziplocks and sometimes Walmart has them.
Also I go to my cleaner and get plastic garment bags. They always give them to me. They are so good to wrap things, that might break, to bring home and so thin to pack as you leave home.

Good idea on using lightweight garment bags for wrapping, Bizzy. Thanks so much for the tip.

You win $10....oh, wait, that's on the Hints to Heloise website.

Here's another idea that I employ every cruise. I bring a plastic tra to put on the dressing table/desk top. Another one or two to put in the top drawers. Also a a couple on the top on each side of the bathroom sink.

The plastic trays are the black undivided ones that hold certain frozen microwave foods. They're very lightweight.

These trays are invaluable for holding card keys, pens, sun glasses, reading glasses, cigarette lighters and assorted small junk you're using all the time.

In the bathroom, the trays hold hair spray and deoderant cans, colognes.....things for instant grabbing. If it gets wavy, chances are none of this stuff will end up on the floor.

Trust me, these lightweight trays (or anything comparable) will be invaluable. Don't leave home without a couple.

Leni
