While packing
Wednesday, June 20 2007
If you have been in the same situation, a full suitcase and just a few more essential items to go in the full case, may I suggest you do the following:
Zip up the bag.
Stand it up and let gravity do its thing.
Wait a little while.
Open the case while standing up and push in the remaining items.
It worked for me and might work for you to
Now, I am home and going to unpack. However, we are moving soon so all of the stuff needs to packed again.

Welcome home.. hope you had a great time!
That’s a great idea that really works. I always worry about bags weighing too much. Now that one bag can only weigh 50 lbs. Look forward to hearing about the trip.
I tagged you, by the way. But don’t worry if you don’t want to.

Haha, thats a great idea! Though I don’t do any packing. I’ll let my dad know the trick, lol.

Thanks
It has been good. The 50 lbs is ok (but it was extra good by going on US carries before since they allowed extra weight) the pain is UK which only allows 1 (one) piece of hand luggage through their security checks. They will not let you through if you have a cabin luggage and a plastic bad/handbag/stuffed bear.
Yeah, I was plz’d when I tried the gravity and I could stuff more things in the bag.
I’ll try do my first post later today. As a teaser, I can tell you that I was involved in a screaming match at Heathrow …
