I hate having to check a bag so I always pack light which includes at least two or three sarongs in my carry on luggage. They roll up tiny and are light. I bought a plus size from 1 World a few years ago and several of the regular size. These are not the cheap sarongs sold in Wal-Mart! I get compliments whether I use it as a beach cover up or a skirt. It can be machine washed, it dries in minutes and can be used day or night. One of my favorite items on Amazon!
