Travel Tip: For the traveler, being in a storm and getting caught dripping wet can turn a dream vacation into a nightmare. When you are going places where it is likely to rain--and a lot--bring plenty of light, quick drying items like socks and undershirts. Getting wet makes it all the more likely that you will be cold. But layering and changing into dry things can take the chill away in no time. Light clothing is easy to rinse/wash and hang in your room without having to brave the storm again just to have your clothes cleaned!
