Travel Notes...

[strredwolf]

Checked my flights again.  No more direct flights from/to Anthrocon -- United Air reportedly had a plane die and had to put me on two flights comming back to Anthrocon.  *grumbles*

So, it's Delta Air going to Cincinnati/NKI, with almost 30 minutes to change gates.  I hope I don't get a flight in which I have to take a shuttle from/to concourse C.

Anthrocon, I'm going to Charlotte first, then Pittsburg.  Then comming back I'm going to New York Laguadia, with it's New York style website.  I'm talking to Hero about that...

Also, I want to bring my 12' fuzzy tail along.  It'll have to be checked, but 12' long?  Try stuffing that!  Thankfully it only weights 12 pounds.

They sell them at Bed, Bath, and Beyond, as well as the Container Store (possibly other places)

Sometimes called "Space Bags"

For that tail, if I'm remembering correctly, you'll need a larger bag - I'm guessing one that you can comfortably turn the tail around in a coil.

Then you use a vacuum cleaner to suck a lot of the air out - that'll at least compress it down. You might try sitting on one end for a couple of minutes, then seeing how well it fluffs up.

We've been using them to pack away linens, including fluffy blankets.
