    Ok i have a small lunch bag that i was gonna use as a shower bag. Its a clear bag about the size of a large makeup bag. I have a duffle bag if i can get the zipper to close. I also have a suitcase with wheels, im pretty sure that the duffle bag is best over the suitcase

    Id bring shower shoes to be safe. A drying towel and face cloth in case you don't like the ones provided. A backpack would work as a bag. It also depends on how long your staying out.

    If you're having problems closing your duffle bag buy a new one.They're not too expensive.Also a small to med size suitcase is fine.Your trainer will probably clean out an area for you to put all your things.

    Yes, the duffle would be a better choice. The small bag will be fine if it's not hardcase.

    I used flip flops once, then gave up on the idea. I tend to trip with them and I hate the feeling of walking on them in the shower.
    I've never had a problem being bare foot at any major truck stop, and I never shower at smaller ones or a terminal.

    Bring the essentials that you would normally use in the shower. Don't worry too much about it because there is always a Walmart or truck stop close by in case you forgot or need something.

    Oh and yes bring shower shoes! There is bacteria out there and yes some of the showers you will go to will not be the cleanest.
     
    Just passing by and Duurtipoker Thank this.
