I will suggest that! Thanks Rosie. My friend wants something that will wash and dry quickly, unlike regular cotton.

Awwww Babyruth, I didn't even see your question before mine. Sorry! I should have waited and let yours get answered before I mucked up the process!

No mucking occurred! Please don't worry. I'm pretty sure more than one ongoing question at a time is ok with most folks. Besides, I should have posted mine in another thread, like Travel or something. I thought I could nab the dawg here before she split last night, but nope.

Tell your friend to look into bamboo clothing. Lightweight, breathable, and quick to dry.

Who, can you lift the salt block to head height and drop it on a rock?

Whoami- Do you have a power drill? If you drill the sold salt in several places, it will weaken and then a simple hammer blow should break it up into smaller chunks...then you could put the smaller chunk into water to melt, which could then be sprinkled over the icy area. ( keep the smaller chunks in a container with a tight lid to keep it drier and not solidify into one big boulder again) Babyruth, I just googled fast drying underwear..and lots of sites popped up...I noticed Tilley brand in particular, since I think their hats are cool...(I'm so not so cool, LOL) all designed for the want-to-be-light traveler

Babyruth, sorry I didn't see this thread yesterday. I think Ex Officio Give N Go briefs are the very best. They cost a LOT, and I am very frugal, and I have them. They feel wonderful on, and you can wash them out and they dry overnight. I like the bikini briefs. They are not real bikini-ish, more like Hanes Her Way hi-cuts. Bigdog and I pretty much only take Ex Officios on trips where we have to pack light. Have her just Google Ex Officio briefs and hit the Shopping tab at the top. This looks like a pretty good price and fairly good selection: Uh oh, apparently one cannot edit a URL once it becomes a URL. I will put the link in the next box. And Magellan's is also the travel store, so she might see something else she likes there. If she lives in a big city, she might have a brick and mortar Magellan's store. REI carries Ex Officios at full price, but there may not be any of those in your area. I never even heard of them until we moved to CA, where outdoorsy foofoo types can't live without a REI store.

Huh!!! It appears newurl is not working at the moment. Well, anyway, Magellans.com, then navigate to women's underwear.

That's odd Juju. I clicked on the link before you tried to edit it, and it worked fine. Let me try.... Juju's Link Y2krazy, thanks for the good idea. But no power tools in this house. We're just not that sophisticated. LOL. I guess I'll just try taking a hammer to it and see what happens.

Thanks, Juju!! and Y2Krazy!! We have an REI store in town, so I'll tell her to check those undies out, plus give her the link. Who, please be careful and wear safety glasses if you do that. You don't want a speck of that chemical crap in your eye. How would you see my winning football pool scores with one blind eye?

Excellent suggestion Couchtomato. Anything to break the integrity of the solid mass. Then it should be easier to break up.

Thanks for putting the link back in, Whoami. Actually, I was trying to change the link to the whole underwear section, rather than just those briefs, as there are two or more styles, not just the ones I linked to. But, if you use that link and then click on Underwear and Sleepwear, just above the picture, that will bring up all of Magellan's underwear offerings. I think I got in trouble with it when I tried to edit the URL after I had posted it. Not sure, it was pretty screwy, came out all red dots, like I had made the biggest swear word imaginable.

Wait a minute!!! I think Machu Picchu is still closed. Friend knows that, right? Really bad flooding, and the road washed out. They had to evacuate a bunch of tourists. I think I just read something yesterday about how it was going to be a while before the road/railbed up there got reopened. http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/10057/1034592-37.stm http://www.dailymail.co.uk/travel/article-1248027/Machu-Picchu-closed-tourists-weeks-Peru-assesses-flood-damage.html http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/travel/2010951218_webperu01.html Babyruth, your friend better get some extra underwear just in case.

No red dotted swear words, Juju, you can't afford to get banned from another thread! Thanks so much for your time with this stuff. My friend is aware of the washout/closings and her tour group will have to make some changes, I think. Yep, extra undies might be just the ticket.

Always willing to help with the stuff I know the answers to, when most people here don't (as opposed to my travel message boards where EVERYBODY knows ALL about packing and underwear and shoes and luggage and best credit cards and best hotels in Paris and all that stuff), lol.

I dunno. I wear thongs. They are pretty tiny and dry overnight, so I don't worry about special "travel" undies. When I went to Hawaii for 10 days, I think I brought only 2 or 3 pairs of undies.

I guess panty lines don't matter to me. I have a caboose the size of Texas, so that's what people would be looking at anyways.
