[at-l] Flying With Backpack

[grey.owl at comcast.net]

We ship our luggage all the time using UPS.  It is never lost and no TSA agent goes through your bag.  We take only carry on luggage on the plane.  Check around for rates as sometimes it is cheaper by Fedex.  USPS can also be reasonable.

Cheers,

Grey Owl
