Main Topic -> Checking a Bag
6:34 - What is it that makes even experienced/prepared travelers like our hosts check their bags? (Hint: it tends to be lengthy cons where sales are necessary and/or bringing things internationally to family)
7:36 - shared checked bag protocol (when traveling with a partner) - plus details on being prepared for a cruise and dealing with porters
9:539 - be aware of the maximum possible overhead space
10:04 - its never as big a deal to fly home with a checked bag as it is to check a bag on your way to your travel destination; traveling with a non-expanded bag on your way out allows you to expand it and check said bag on the way home
11:15 - checked bags allow you to reduce bulk; take advantage of this redistribution luxury
12:30 - traveling with a camera (DSLR) or a Gary Fong light filter (that fits inside your hat?)
13:13 - changing the "how" and "type" of your bag when knowing you'll be checking a bag (clam-shell, hard-sided, and other options)
14:42 - tiny rolly totes can be stacked on the checked bag once you get it back (...if you do...)
16:00 - a continuation of the ongoing roller-bag versus backpack argument between Piper and Gail
17:45 - look back in the archive for the achilles' tendon damage podcast
18:15 - have an emergency outfit in your carry-on regardless of if you're checking your bag
19:30 - obtaining a "care-kit" from the airline you're flying
20:05 - take a picture of your bag so you can show it to a luggage attendant, just in case
21:00 - can you tell the ladies have favorite travel stories? :P
23:11 - make sure you do something to differentiate your checked bag from other checked bags and DO be prepared for said bag to be lost (don't allow a missing bag to ruin your trip)
