Just focus on those wonderful memories and the years you had together!<br />Like all of your articles, I appreciate this one for it's practical uses. Like many photographers, I fly with my equipment, and packing/transporting is always a concern.

My tripod was in my checked luggage (no problem). There was another passenger on the flight who tried to bring the tripod attached to his backpack. The gate agent required him to gate check it, and told him he was lucky he wasn't sent back to the ticket counter to check itSam - Texasnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1184534445566567352.post-33904006018981974612013-02-05T00:05:45.719-05:002013-02-05T00:05:45.719-05:00Excellent article.
