[nagdu] Airline Baggage Question

[wcmerritt at gmail.com]

If you need to save space, perhaps you could make arrangements to
visit a local pet store when you arrive and get food for your stay.
I've done this when traveling to my parent's house when going for
weekends or longer stays, and it works out quite well. You could also
pack each meal in a separate ziplock baggie, and then throw the bags
away when your dog has had that meal. This can help reduce the baggage
for the trip home anyway.

Good luck,
Wayne
