I generally have a Swiss Army knife sitting in my toiletry bag. Ten years ago, no-one thought twice about that, when it went on-board with me...

But then I do tend to overpack and end up carrying things I don't need (I also underestimate how much I'm going to buy while I'm there so have more to bring home).

This of course is a challenge for a shoe hound like myself especially since shoes take up so much space. I usually travel with just a roll aboard and backpack. I've actually traveled to Australia 2 weeks with just a roll aboard and back pack. (Quantas did make us check our luggage on the way back to the US) Whenever possible, I avoid checking luggage like the plague.

Public is good but Internet is better. When I go to Venice, hence the blog, I planned on doing a video Blog or vblog and if I show that piece of luggage in the intro to each episode then it would be like a subtle advert. Not too much in your face? Maybe. I will have to give this some thought as I do not want to come across as some greedy yank. Sure. Public is good but Internet is better.

I have only seen one other person on the same flight with the same bag and he fortunately placed a large sticker on his to really make it stand out. This has me thinking that I could use that same idea in order to sell advertising space on my suitcase. Probably will not make a whole bunch from it but it oculd help pay for a flight to Italy. It will also help in making my suitcase stand out. Just thinking out loud here. I bought myself a bright yellow hardside from Samsonite when I used to work for them.

I don't know if my masculinity can take that! Good tips though. Definitely, hang onto the checked baggage ticket, ESPECIALLY when traveling internationally...
