"I like to collect shells from all the beaches I have visited," confides
tipster Mary Adams of Ellicott City. "The problem is getting them home
without breaking them. Two years ago, when I was in Maine, I bought a cheap
bottle of water that had a wide mouth (they also sell juice and milk in these types of bottles). I filled the bottle with shells and stuffed the rest with toilet paper from the hotel room, and they made it home in a duffel bag that was checked!"
And for extra padding, Adams can always wrap her bottled shells in her new Travel section T-shirt, which we're sending her as thanks for sharing her resourceful tip. Picked up any expertise in your own travels? Pack it up and send it in, according to the fine print below.
