Whenever one leaves town for a vacation or a business trip, luggage packing never fails to become a major activity. The plan to always lightly travel is sometimes forgotten and before one realizes it, the bag has become full and there are a number of other things yet to be placed inside. Having traveled since I was a little boy, such problems are rarely experienced. I seemed to have become a master packer, easily being able to put everything in my good old Samsonite luggage. That piece of luggage has been with me all over the country and all the way to Europe and back. I use it until now.
A columnist for a Philippine newspaper talks about the costs and massive preparations required by the US Secret Service whenever President Bush and other (US Presidents) travel outside of Washington DC. I remember watching a CNN report that showed how big a US presidential convoy is, compared to the two vehicle transport being used by Prime Minister Tony Blair of the UK.
