These are like giant ziplock bags except that they have a little one-way air release chamber at the bottom. You place your clothes in the bag, zip the seal, then press down & roll the bag slightly to force all of the air out. This made a huge difference on our recent trip to <a href="http://www.2dolphins.com/rajblog.html" title="2Dolphins Russian Adoption Journal" rel="nofollow">Moscow</a>.

No cheap ass Air-Courier flights for us. Plus, the fact that we need 4 tickets limits us too. We usually search Travelocity, Kayak, Expedia and some others for a best fare on one of our preferred airlines. Regarding our choices of destination, it's all about what we personally like. For example, I'm a wine guy and the wines from the Rhone region of France are a passion of mine. So, that was a destination this year. We have a short list of places we want to go. These are places we are actively compiling information on. Then, we have a loose 12-month travel plan which includes all our trips to see family and friends as well as any extended vacations. For example, we just returned from a month with family in San Diego, there will be a few short trips to visit family in other states, then a return to Buenos Aires in the coming months. After that, a trip to Spain or France is on the itinerary. Beyond that...who knows. Best, Michael Hi Dean,
