Thanks Mikel, yes, I don't want my bag with my clothes and mac to put on the
belt, my cpap nor my cameras would ever go there. I will have about 6K of
camera equipment with me, they don't want it in the hold nor do I! LOL I
suppose that if I had to, I could take out my Mac and carry it, but that is
not my desire. I will be using some regional carriers, but only one is
small enough that I might have an issue. your post has been very helpful!
thanks again.
