[pct-l] Baby Wipes

[RJ Lewis]

Thanks for the great advice, really! I will most definitely consider 
this as I go through my gear for the trip in 09.

Hehe feel as frisky as you wanna. And yes, nothing more refreshing than 
feeling something resembling clean when you pull on yer jammies for bed. 
;-) I can relate there.

Again, thanks for the good advice. Much appreciated. :) Have a good one!
