Travel Tip of the Week 2/8/2005
Carry a small box of dental floss on your journey and you won't have to hunt for string - the floss is very strong and can be used to mend holes in mosquito netting or your backpack. It's even durable enough to serve as a temporary shoelace repair. Use it to hang clothes to dry by threading it through straps, buckles, etc. And, of course, keep your gums healthy, too!
