10 Days in a Carry-On

This article appeared in the New York Times Business Section last week:

10 Days in a Carry-On
"Heather Poole, a flight attendant from Los Angeles, demonstrated how to pack enough for a 10-day trip into a single standard carry-on..."

This is a great idea for anyone interested in simplifying their travel experience while simultaneously saving a few more dollars (that you can then spend on gelato, naturally). NOTE: If you do start to strongly consider a carry-on only option after seeing this, then I'd advise you do a "practice pack" sooner than later to see if your belongings fit as well as Heather's.

For those of you flying Delta...

Here's a uncommon piece of good news from the airline industry:

"Starting June 1st, Cardmembers with a Gold, Platinum, or Reserve Delta SkyMiles Credit Card from American Express—and up to eight travel companions within their reservation—will automatically receive a first checked bag fee waiver upon check-in for all Delta and Delta Connection® flights."
