    A pair of good quality flip flops will keep your feet off those shower stall floors. You can only imagine the many possibilites of different fluids that end up on that floor. If that thought does not encourage you to get good shower flip flops and something to disinfect them afterwards (And to dry...) then I don't know what will.

    Agreed.
    Bravo. I'm seldom sick. Won't tell you how long is been since I've seen a doctor.

    However, I'm not dense enough to advocate swimming in raw sewage to solve the woes of polio.

    I'm a vaccinator. Even if it gives you autism. Lmao.

    Walmart sells small bags called shower caddies. They hold everything you need in a 12"x12"x4" square bag. They hold razor, shave cream, deodorant, soap. I also went and bought travel size items of shampoo etc, and everything fits in the caddy. Major truck stops will have towels and wash clothes. I brought 2 towels and wash clothes with me when I was out with the mentor. Terminals and smaller truck stops may not have towels.

    Sleeping bags are my go-to bedding solution. I bought two at Walmart and zipper them together to form a huge envelope. This way I am complete wrapped up and not sleeping on top of a mattress of dubious history. Good luck on your training!

    How do you wash your sleeping bags?They won't fit in a washer very easy. Even one at a time.

    I wash them at home. I run regional, so home time every weekend. It helps if you shower before bedtime. ;-) Keeps them clean longer!

    Actually, that is a caramel coating to make your feet smell better.

    Revel in the luxury.
