On the road

Heading out for two weeks in southern California, seeing my sister and her family, and then going hiking with Mary and Sean (Sean is working down in the San Diego area so they're running two households this year).

And I see my flight will be boarding soon, so this may cut off quickly. Yes, there I go!

Tip for those of you coming to Wiscon - check

There is almost always a gate check to/from Madison, in my experience. It's the good kind where they hand you back your bag at the gate. I've never heard of a bag lost on those.

The backpack and the "Urban Disguise 60" are both are carry-on legal for a CRJ so I didn't have to gate check: the trick is that a smaller pack (for the overhead) is balanced by a larger than average briefcase, which still will fit under the seat. My main objection to gate check is that both have expensive, breakable stuff in them and I don't like to let them out of my sight, even for gate check.
