YES but never lost. I watched the baggage handlers throw my bag on the ground.<BR/><BR/>Course another thing we have going for us is that we have never traveled to someplace where we would be left high and dry if our bags were lost. Even to Korea we could buy stuff easily.<BR/><BR/>That said, if I ever get lucky and get a trip out of the country I'll make sure to follow your tips because they are all really good ones.Renee Nefehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08167893445846427824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18003026.post-59621434636129416662008-04-02T15:30:00.000-04:002008-04-02T15:30:00.000-04:00I'm going to take your advice next time I travel a...I'm going to take your advice next time I travel and really work the carry on.

We traveled with a group and one young man has his luggage make a detour on the trip. The airline was supposed to drop it at the hotel front desk. However, they left it outside the lobby. We are not sure if the hotel lobby door was momentarily locked or what but he wasn't all that thrilled to think that all his stuff was locked out the front.<BR/><BR/>As far as sending stuff ahead: what about people going on sporting (ie skiing) vacations?Gemini and Ichirohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01102088688833145254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18003026.post-72483808003787335752008-04-02T11:49:00.000-04:002008-04-02T11:49:00.000-04:00Those are definitely good tips!One thing I've lear...Those are definitely good tips!<BR/><BR/>One thing I've learned is that a backpack with a lot of pockets is a great carry on! I've managed to pack a lot of things into my backpack, including my camera equipment, laptop and a lot of other stuff. It's definitely worth it.Yoshihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12757493908828900368noreply@blogger.com
