Plastic Fantastic Travel Pouches

     Every U.S. traveler nowadays has to be TSA compliant. We don't carry sharp items or carry suspicious packages. We remove our shoes and belts when we're told to. And we know that liquids and gels must be 3 oz. or less and packed in a clear, one quart bag.

     My suggestion for today is the purchase of a heavy duty, PVC or vinyl pouch specially made for travel. There are several on the market, all featuring tough, leakproof construction, good quality zippers, and a hang loop. They are great for packing and double as a toilet kit hanging in the bathroom.

      Mine is very fancy, with a big black zipper and a clip. It cost Cheryl $15., and was purchased from Igas Island Company --- "Sewn with solar power in Waldoboro Maine." It looks like this:

Here is a link to contact info for Igas: http://www.mainemade.com/members/profile.asp?ID=3033. But I did not get a response to my request for a call back to talk about the product for this post. He may be retired...

     Have no fear, however. There are a few more options. This product by TamperSeal looks like it will do the job http://www.tamperseal.com/tsa-compliant-quart-pouch-liquid-bottles.html and it's only 8 bucks. And here is another option by SKS; see under travel kits: http://www.sks-bottle.com/340c/Vinyl-Bags.html .

     These travel bags offer smart functionality and don't wear out. They make a terrific and very affordable gift for any traveler.  Highly recommended.
