- Disclaimer -• The various airline & train luggage

policies differ, and they change frequently.

• Enforcement of bag policies by each desk agent is inconsistent.

• Much of what I know I’ve learned the hard way.

Consider – What you “REALLY”

“NEED” to take!

Mr. BIG’s #1 Travel Rule

YOU must be able to get from your car to the motor

coach, with all of your bags in ONE trip.

If YOU can’t do that, YOU have TOO MUCH STUFF!

My Carry-On Strategy• Cash, credit cards, photo ID, and cell phone are in my pockets.

• I wear the fleece liner of my ski parka on the plane.

• Boots, gloves, pants, goggles, parka, and meds, are in “carry-on”

• Helmet is in my back pack.
