I would say take one. |  Ruth from Wales Ruth John Post Count: 122 Msg: #3 884 days ago, June 29th 2007 | Definitely, but make sure you get a good one. I use a large Paramo travel towel - www.paramo.co.uk - and it has worked great so far. A normal towel is much more likely to get smelly very quickly and also takes much longer to dry. |  Casey Lary Casey Lary Post Count: 28 Msg: #4 874 days ago, July 9th 2007 | I think I just answered another one of your questions on vaccinations! I used a travel towel around europe- one of those special towels that quickly absorbs water and such. Honestly, after a week it really started to smell. I would say start with one but you may end up chucking it. what I have as an alternative is just getting new towels as you go along. If traveling in asia they are dirt cheap. |  Stuart Stuart Morgan Hurlbut Post Count: 116 Msg: #5 873 days ago, July 10th 2007 | Personally I have a bad habit of losing towels - I leave them behind in rooms and bathrooms a lot! So, a travel towel would have been a waste of money for me. (Confession: I've never owned one of those special travel towels). Also, buying a new towel as you go along is not expensive, but if you've spent a lot of money on a special travel towel you might be a bit pissed off when you lose it! |  travelingbee Deb Post Count: 73 Msg: #6 871 days ago, July 12th 2007 | I would definitely say take one! I have a great "large camping towel" that's microfiber and super-light. It's come in handy more than a few times and since it's not big and bulky, it doesn't even get in the way. Go for it. | Number of Users: 6 | Number of Posts: 6 | ||||||||||||||
