Hard Copy

Nothing else can offer travel comfort of actual ink and paper.
Digital books are light weight and great reading, but only give frustration in a long wait with a low battery.
Tucking an under 300 page paperback can offer entertainment rather than boredom.
The classic writer, Robert Heinlein, has Science Fiction escapes in the 100 page+ range.
Used paperbacks can be donated along the way for more take home travel space.

What is a Carry-on Size?

Most US airlines allow one carry on of 45 liner inches.
Defined as measuring three sides, Height, length, width and the total is less than 45' to qualify as a carry-on. A full size carry-on is still big enough to bump folks going down the isle of an airplane.
Consider a pilots case. Defined as 35 liner inches. Still roomy for many things but much more manageable.
The caption is offered by Rimowa and a duffel style.

Carry Less, Enjoy More

Handy Monocular

Traveling with a monocular is a handy tool.

1. A monocular can hang, handy, from the neck.

2. One can enjoy distant scenery, such as mountain goats on a near by hill, or the beauty of Alaska.

3. A monocular can find distant objects, like ships on the sea.

4. In foreign city walking a monocular can read street sign and help get you to distant sites.

A monocular is an enjoyable tool that is worth its size and weight in traveling light.

The Fig Leaf Question.

If our freedom to fly comes to this:
1. Will the fig leaves be supplied or will we be trusted to bring our own?

2. What if the fig leaves are supposed to be supplied and you get to the fig leaf station and they have run out of fig leaves?

3. Will we have a changing booth to change into our fig leaf?

4. With our arms out to the side you do we hold the fig leaf on?
