Simple & Cheap Tricks for your plane

(Probably others have already been doing this, but new for me.)

I have been using two Large/X-Large duffle bags ($15, Eddie Bauer
Outlet) for family travel.
Campmor has large Columbia, wheeled, 6000 ci duffels on sale for $40
($140 retail).
Now that the kids are big enough, I have decided that they can pull
their own weight on trips, as well as the luggage across the ramp,
through the hotel lobby, etc.

Each of us (2 kids, Mary and me) has our own soft-sided luggage. Mary and
mine are (is?) the luggage that came with our '86 Honda Goldwing. Over the
years, Mary has sewn on patches of all the states we've visited, and
patches from all the EAA conventions we've attended.

In fact, the luggage is now primarily held together BY the patches! :-)

yes

I'll give it a few days, and then try to summarize.

Then people can have fun correcting me. :-)

Saw the ad (Sporty's? Spruce? Somewhere) about the ABS box that holds
oil, spout, tools, etc. $140 or so.

Back to the local hardware or household store. RubberMaid box (with
top) for $10. Holds minimum tools, roll of paper towels, quart of
oil, landing light, gloves, strainer, tie-down ropes. Goes into
the corner of the baggage area.
