<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I have been curious about the discussion about how to check a backpack
for air travel. Maybe I am missing something but my plan is to carry the
backpack on the plane and check a box that contains anything that the airlines
don't like on the plane. For example, my walking stick and Swiss Army knife.
When I get to Madrid, I will move those things to my pack and throw the box
away. On returning, I can find a box that will work the return trip since duct
tape will improve most boxes to shipping quality.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Is there something in this plan that I am missing? I have not done this
before but I have never traveled with a backpack as small as the one for the
Camino.</DIV>
