SKECHERS FLEX SLIP-ON SNEAKERS

MAKE GOING THROUGH SECURITY AT AIRPORTS A LITTLE LESS STRESSFUL BY WEARING COMFORTABLE SLIP-ON SHOES OR SNEAKERS. I BOUGHT A PAIR OF BLACK FLEX SKECHERS FOR ABOUT $57.00AND COULDN'T BE HAPPIER. GO TO www.skechers.com FOR A COMPLETE SELECTION. THEY ARE ALSO SOLD AT KOHLS. THEY ARE COMFORTABLE, LIGHTWEIGHT AND PERFECT FOR THE BUSY TRAVELER.

MIMI LOVES TO CARRY ON

Whenever possible, I always opt for carry-on luggage, often an under-the-seater. I have been able to tour in Europe and then hop on a cruise for two weeks (with three to four outfit changes a day) all with a standard-size carry-on suitcase. How can this be done without wearing the same outfits over and over? Anyone can do the same by charting out their daily wear; choosing fabrics that are light-weight, wrinkle-free and pre-coordinated using a base-color theme; scaling down on cosmetics and toiletry sizes; and packing only what will really be used.
