We are checking a bag

DELETED

Just do it! There is stuff you just NEED.

We have a ritual where we wave goodbye forever to every bag we check before a flight. That way if it does not show up we are not upset. I actually refused to come get a lost bag at the dock last year. It was a polar bear cooler full of marinated chicken and shrimp, etc. I told the guy who (eventually) called that he should just dump out the contents and keep the cooler for himself.

oh, give it up! it;s fine! there isnever any reason for guilt

I think you should seek help.

You know, for me, the main reason I would check a bag is so as I could have my Swiss Army knife while I'm down there.

That is funny JT, we opened the carry on suitcase and out of the inside pocket fell our extra "leatherman" We packed it for STJ last year and it never made it out of the suitcase. We used that suitcase 4 times as a carry on since then and did not realize that it ws in there. Neither did the TSA...by they took my eggbeaters...go figure!

your punishment is to add a zero to the end of that ticker!

Seriously, it makes you wonder what else is getting through and how on-the-ball the TSA people are. Sheesh!

See you at the BB!

We always have to check a bag because we're there for two weeks. Don't beat yourself up. I'm assuming you have to check that bag because of all of the B.B. prizes??? Does my Flat-Screen TV fit ok??

We have only ever dreamed of going carry on only. Don't think we will ever see the day. Perhaps if we were going for one week but that doesn't happen. Not that I'm complaining.

Just think of what you can leave on STJ and all the room you will have to bring lots of stuff home.

AH

Hahaha! I forgot about the eggbeaters. That was funny.

I just got a new "carry on" knowing that it will hold all of my stuff (I still need to measure it, as it looks pretty big). Despite the fact that it will hold everything, doesn't change the fact that there will certainly be things that I want to take, that won't be allowed in the carry on. No Eggbeaters for me, but surely there will be something!

There's no shame in it. It is what it is!
