Philforest.. I'm ready to direct significant
antagonism... NOT AT YOU BECAUSE YOU ARE RIGHT AND A GOOD MAN... but at these people
who somehow get on the plane with shopping bags full of stuff plus a backpack or the baby stroller people. I notice MOST gate agents don't stop people (although they wanted me to check my briefcase because she said "It looked too big." It fit in the size
all and my business stuff and a change of clothes and toiletries are in there... in case of lost baggage.

I have airlines sent my bags to other states
several tiems (most recently, New Orleans where I had no clothes because CO made me check EVERYTHING!!!) The bags ended up in Denver, then Houston then Orleans the next night (The bags should earn us ff miles for
their traveling!)

I take two bags max, one I check and one carry on filled with emergency stuff. I will
put the bag under the seat so the other flyers have room.

A few times I will have a second bag, a giant
Harrod's green shopping bag with cats all over it where I carry Christmas/Birthday gifts or stuff I pick up shopping. I try to put this in the seat in front of me or in first the closet. But I'll try to be considerate of other flyers and give them room for baggage if they give me that extra
few inches for my big 6 ft 2 body! CATMAN
