that's just the cargo STUFF that's going to the stores so pax can buy more STUFF to check for their next flight!

we almost make a game of seeing how little STUFF we can each take on a 2 wk trip--our rollaboards are med/small (less than 20") and I get a handbag or sorts (no giant tote or anything like that--because of course, guys have to give the femmes all their little STUFF to carry)
The real secret is to visit places that have really cheap laundry facilities, like Asia! and if you can't wear a pair of shoes with more than half your clothes, don't take them!!)

I think I'm amazed how much STUFF people take form place to place. Haven't they ever heard about nomads? They don't have much STUFF becuase they aren't so stupid as to have to take anything more than necessary!! If they just took the minimum STUFF, they could stop at a store and buy the other STUFF they need in a destination (henceforth the need for CARGO, which means retail jobs but if they aren't checking luggage STUFF, maybe airlines won't need rampers?--OH NO!!)
My brain is smoking...
