Air travel

The whole "carry on"bag theme started to crumble just before take off. The concept seemed reasonable and we had been successful before...BUT everyone else evidently had the idea to bring along hand luggage plus check their bags so there was no room in overhead to "carry on". Now our enire trip belongings are in the belly of various planes (we can only hope,and our plane at that)...and it seemed so simple.. This situation did not compare however, to the adorable Frenchman traveling behind us through security at LAX when he copped an attitude and threw the luggage cart over the stairway when asked to follow procedure. He,his lovely hot-pink leather shoes, matching bag and exquisite attire didn't make the Paris flight. The security men In crisp blue won.
