Captain Nowhere Holiday Packing

Holiday packing can add to the stress of the season. In this tip we
are bringing you some helpful hints on how to pack. First off lets
talk gifts, don't wrap them because, if you do and T.S.A. needs to
get into your package they are going to unwrap it. If you are
taking fragile gifts or items make sure you pack them with a lot of
cushion or padding. Basically pack it as if it were going through a
war zone. Bags get tossed , thrown, smashed, bashed and just
generally abused along the way.

Don't over pack your luggage. Over stuffing a bag can put stress on
the zippers and cause them to burst. Then, you won't be getting
too much of your stuff back. Putting too much in a bag can cause it
to get delayed at security check points and result in it following
you later on. That may be hours, days, weeks, or you may never
see your bag again.

With your holiday film, (for those of you not using digital cameras)
carry it on and let screeners at checkpoints know you have it.
Some X-ray equipment can damage those precious memories. With
a little care and thought you can increase your chances of coming
out of this season relatively unscathed. Have a great holiday
season!
