The Man Your Man Used To Smell Like

jazzfishDue to my checked baggage tending to hare off for Chicago without me, or alternately to go somewhere else when I'm supposed to go through Chicago, I tend to fly with just carry-on luggage. I've got a rollerboard bag that's perfectly sized for a week-long trip (for me, provided it's not going to be below freezing) and a big blue "personal bag." The only awkward part about this is having to send my liquids through the scanner separately: quart bag of shampoo and toothpaste and deodorant (roll-on). So far I've only had to throw away one bottle of deodorant because it was 3.5 oz instead of the %&$ TSA-approved 3 oz.
For reasons that are opaque to me, Target no longer sells travel bottles of the roll-on I use. Nor do they sell anything travel-size that's "unscented," and the least offensive fragrance belonged to something from Old Spice.
I didn't really notice it in Key West but spending several hours in a tent meant that when I opened the canister it smacked me over the head with the scent of two tickets to that thing I love. (Sniff again. The tickets are now diamonds.) And I haven't been able to stop smelling it since then.
I am now home (well, I'm now at work, but I stopped by home on the way) and have never been so happy to be genuinely de-odorized.
(... this is the kind of post you get when I've had less than four hours sleep and that on an airplane with a non-reclining seat.)
