When you get back here, go to PBS and watch the travel show "Globetrotter." You'll see!
CFrance, we have PBS here in Canada, I'll have to check if we get "Globetrotter". (We also have Eddie Bauer stores.). :
I'm just wondering if you are permitted to take a huge stuffed knapsack on an airline as a carry on.
I adore travel organizational cosmetic holders and that kind of stuff.

I agree pbkmaine. That's the way I travelled for years on business.
However now it appeals to me to just jam everything into one knapsack.
Simplifying life and all that.
