Travel clothesline

[Shmemily]

Hey there. Hope everyone had a good long weekend!

I'm looking for a travel clothesline like they have in the Magellan's catalog. It is nice and small and you don't need to use clothespins with it as it had space for the clothes. However, I can't seem to find one at any stores anywhere! I'm in Ontario. Any suggestions on locations???

One possibility might be to order from Magellans. They ship to Canada and I've always found the service to be excellent. They offer a "kit" with the clothesline, a large sink stopper and some travel soap in a small tube, and this is a useful combination.

You could also check luggage / travel stores in your area. We have a local chain in the Okanagan called "Bags 'N All" and they carry products of this type. You can also order these on the net from Rick Steves. Make sure you don't buy the models with the suction cups on each end, as they're useless.

Hope this helps. Good luck!

Thanks Eagle.

I found a store in my town today that sold a package laundry kit also, with woolite and everything. I was so excited and bought it but it's the one with suction cups! It also has a clippy thing on the end. Think I should take it back?

It's difficult to say whether you should take it back, without being able to see the product. However, from what I've seen the models with the suction cups use two strands of a dark coloured tubing, whereas the Magellans models use three strands of a much larger beige coloured surgical rubber tubing which seems more robust.

I'll have to leave that decision up to you, but I suppose a lot depends on when you're leaving and whether you have the time to pursue this further.

Good luck!

Hey, I think you have the same one I have.. I wouldn't worry about the suction cups - they really do suck, but just ignore them, and use the clips, and you'll be fine.

Thanks guys. Can't wait until I get out there and can give all sorts of helpful advice to others
