Packing Your Overhead Carry-On

2011-04-21T21:45:00.000-07:00

Let's start with the inside bottom. Most cases have internal pull handles. Handle system tubes take up space inside your case. We can utilize this space by packing around the handle tubes.

So Let's Get Started:

Packing Belts: Place your belts around the inside perimeter of your case (stretch your belt around the side, across the top and down the other side).

Packing Your Shoes: Place your shoes inside your shoe covers (one shoe in each cover). Pack your shoes towards the bottom of your case, one on each side of the handle tubes. Don't forget to fill your shoes with your extra socks.

Shoe covers are the perfect packing accessory, keeps your shoes from getting scuffed and keeps your clothing from getting dirty.

Packing Under Clothing: Packing tubes and cubes are great for socks and underwear, just fold and roll your socks and underwear and place inside the packing tubes. They fit nicely between the handle tubes and around the outer side of the handle tubes.

Packing Your Toilety Kit: Hanging Toiletry Kits work well, they can be hung on the towel bar or on the back of the bathroom door without taking up any counter space.

Fill your toiletry kit with your needed essentials. Except for your liquids and gels, no larger than 3oz containers (we will go into your 3-1-1 Bottle Kit a little later). Place your toiletry kit towards the top of your carry-on.

Remember, you want to fill as much space as possible in and around the handle tubes. We have just finished packing our first layer of our carry-on.

Saving Tank

2011-03-27T13:45:00.000-07:00

We came across this article, we thought we be interesting to our community. Tank, who has given to our community with his Bloodhound Services. Now needs our help.

Even the smallest donation can bring this family closer to paying for Tank's surgery. Please read below on how you can help. Thank You TravelU.Us

Saving Tank

March 26, 2011 5:27 PM

LUCERNE VALLEY - Detectives mull around a crime scene with a variety of devices meant to aid in investigations.

There are portable crime labs, hand-held fingerprint devices and digital camera.

But among the 21st century gadgets, authorities still use one piece of equipment from the late 1800's: Bloodhounds.

"We use them because they work," retired San Bernardino County Sheriff's Investigator Laurie Savage said.

And when she needed the tracking pooches, Savage turned to the nonprofit Bloodhounds Inc. , run by Serina Harvey and her mother.

Savage has worked with the Harvey's bloodhounds for several years on a variety of cases including bank robberies, missing persons, burglaries and even missing pets.

Now, after helping in hundreds of cases throughout the county, one of Harvey's five hounds needs help.

Tank, a 175-pound bloodhound, has developed three ruptured discs in his spine through his work with law enforcement and private individuals.

Tank, now waits at his Irvine Veterinarian's Office.

In a few weeks he will either undergo a precedure that will fuse his spine and possibly allow him to go back to trailing or he will be euthanized.

"I think it's sad that he may have to be put to sleep after his short career," Harvey said from her Lucerne Valley ranch and home.

Packing Tips - Choosing Your Carry-On

2011-03-24T20:19:00.000-07:00

Choosing the perfect carry-on can be as personal as buying a pair of shoes. Different sizes, shapes, wheeled or non-wheeled. Do you want it to fit in the overhead compartment or under the seat?

Size restrictions and weight limits can play a important roll in choosing the size of your carry-on bag. These restrictions can vary between domestic and international airlines. As well as tour groups and school trips.

Here's a few pointers to help you choose that perfect carry-on:

Choose the size and type of carry-on (standard size carry-on 22" x 14" x 9", 20" Wide Body Carry-On - known as the new carry-on fits in the overhead compartment, rolling tote bags or non-wheeled tote bags that fit under the seat).

Determine the weight restrictions for your carry-on (remember that the weight restrictions vary between domestic and international airlines).

How many carry-on's are you allowed (most airlines allow (1) in the overhead bin and (1) personal bag under the seat).

If you are changing from a domestic airlines to a international airlines. Check the size and weight restrictions on both airlines. Go with the smallest restrictions to avoid having to check your carry-on bag.

Don't forget, when choosing your carry-on to ask about the quality and durability of the product you have chosen. Ask about the warranty, this can be a important decision maker (Does it cover just defects in workmanship and materials? Does it cover airline damage and wear and tear? Is there a local repair facility, if repairs are needed?).

Always go with best you can possibly afford to buy, especially when you travel frequently. Weather it's for business or pleasure.
