Thanks for the information, Bridgit!

"The real problem of blindness is not the loss of eyesight.  The 
real problem is the misunderstanding and lack of education that 
exists.  If a blind person has the proper training and 
opportunity, blindness can be reduced to a mere physical 
nuisance." -- Kenneth Jernigan (President of the National 
Federation of the Blind, 1968-1986.)

impaired children in MD say "I can!"

Subject: [nabs-l] How to find luggage when traveling

Chris,

My husband and I do a couple of things with luggage when 
traveling.  My
mother-in-law once attached Mardi Gras beads to our luggage, and 
they
still are on to this day.  We've also tied ribbon on, which is 
also still
attached.  Most people don't travel with such accoutrements 
attached to
their luggage so it's easy to identify tactily this way.  We also 
fill
out the info cards so if we need to ask someone for help, our 
names will
be on the luggage.  If traveling alone, we usually do ask for 
help to
quickly identify, but we beads, ribbons and name tags, it usually
doesn't take long to find!

Sincerely,
Bridgit Kuenning-Pollpeter

Hi Arielle,

Thanks for the information! This is great! I have a question on
this for anybody who flies independently: how do you
retrieve the right luggage from the carousel? In other words, how
do you know which luggage is yours? Thanks!

Chris
