Travel Tip of the Week 2/14/2005
When you've finished packing, place a large plastic trash bag inside your suitcase on top. If you are checked at customs and have to unload everything in your carefully packed bag (which takes time to repack so that it all fits), you can just throw part of it in the trash bag, zip up your backpack and hit the road. You can repack in a place where you have more space and time.
