    I've kind of gone on a different direction with my travel. I used to always bring a carry-on roller suitcase and an over the shoulder bag as a personal item, and a checked bag for longer trips. What I've found is that I *hate* having to lug around a bag in airports. I really hate competing for overhead bin space. Now, I always check a bag and that way I don't have to sweat what I'm bringing with me, and I carry a small backpack as a personal item with (rarely) valuables, an iPad, headphones, a pen, medications, power bank, charging adaptor for the country I'm going to, car mount for my phone in case the rental doesn't have Android Auto or navigation, one change of clothes, and a few basic toiletries. I just accept the risk around the checked bag, since basic survival is handled and I can change my clothes once.

    It looks like your channel and those like it have become the problem. I'm happy to see these things being enforced so I don't have to wait half an hour for fools to pull all their junk out of the overhead bins, knocking others in the head with the 50 pound sack of Disney souvenirs. I miss the days when people didn't look for cheats/hacks/annoyances when flying. I'm happy the airlines are getting strict with consumers like this.

    Thank you so much for this video.👏 So, I hope, AF (Delta) will allow my pillow (filled with bulky woolen cardigan) next flight, bc my 😊 "undersized" 20" carry-on suitcase is just 15,5 lbs and personal item 5 lbs (but short time frame within one ticket to US + domestic; normally I can check in luggage for free - flying status). Anyway, I will try. And if not, I've still another personal loophole, which I normally use very very seldom > my two full knee protheses (pass to show always with me, bc of tsa screening beeps). So, on long flights, I use pillow also for supporting my thigh back to comfort knees. I think, airlines meanwhile realized that people fill in stuff in neckholders/pillows, but what difference does it make regarding loading overhead compartments, when people use neckholder/pillow or even a blanket over their shoulders. Meanwhile it's frustrating.

    I bought a small camping clothesline with me and always have it along when traveling. Even if I don't do laundry it helps to air out clothes for another day of wear and gives more options to hang up clothes if the closet is small.

    • @NoraDunn
      @NoraDunn День тому

      Nice! I traveled with one of those clotheslines for ages and I either didn't use it, or when I tried to use it there wasn't anywhere decent to hang it up. In the end I found it easier to just drape things over chairbacks, shower rails, etc - or simply put on hangers and hang around the room.

    Here is what I do to bypass the TSA search madness. I just simply travel with one simple backpack that has my essentials (such as passport, id, laptop, chargers, headphone ear buds, wall adapter if traveling to Europe and two sets of pants and shirts, towel and phone). That's it. Then when I arrive in the country I'm traveling to I buy clothes, soap, shaver and shampoo there. At the end of the trip I give away what I bought to a local homeless donation center after washing the clothes and throw away any leftover shampoo and soap. Then, I travel back home with the single back pack that have the same items and I never buy any souvenirs. I just take video and pictures of my travels. Also, I make sure to not have any metal on my waist belt, clothes and shoes. I don't wear jewelry.

    The best quality Merino Sheep come from New Zealand, the "Pioneers" of Merino clothing. Merino in New Zealand New Zealand breeders began importing small numbers from Germany, France, America and the UK. With this branching of genetics, the New Zealand Merino quickly became its own distinct type of wool, which is now arguably the best in the world.18 Apr 2018 I note your lovely necklace of the world does not include New Zealand! Oh dear, you need to look for a necklace that includes ALL the nations of the world. I hope you've been to New Zealand for great skiing experiences? and it's gorgeous landscapes.
