VELCRO DOTS AND TAPE

I JUST RETURNED FROM A WONDERFUL EASTERN CARIBBEAN CRUISE ABOARD THE CELEBRITY ECLIPSE. THE SHIP NOT ONLY BOASTED AN ACTUAL GRASS LAWN (VERY GREEN) FOR CROQUET AND BOCCE BALL BUT, IT HAD A GLASS BLOWING STUDIO AS WELL! PACKING FOR THE SEVEN NIGHT TRIP, WITH TWO FORMAL EVENINGS, WAS STILL VERY DOABLE WITH AN UNDER THE SEAT BAG. VELCRO DOTS AND STRIPS CAME IN QUITE HANDY. I USED THE DOTS FOR A QUICK HEM REPAIR AND THE VELCRO TAPE FOR WHITE STRAP TOPS FOR MY LINDSAY PHILLIPS SHOES. A LITTLE VELCRO GOES A LONG WAY IN EXPANDING A PACKLIGHTER'S WARDROBE. FROM BASIC REPAIRS TO A CLEVERLY ADDED SILK FLOWER TO A BELT OR HAT, VELCRO IS A STAPLE IN MY TRAVEL BAG.
