Instead of figuring out how you’re going to fit all your stuff into the two height- and length-appropriate carry-ons you’re allotted for a flight, I’ve got two words for you: travel vest. I was at the airport recently when I saw a man walking toward me wearing one, its multiple pockets bulging with stuff. He had used them most efficiently, storing some magazines, a book, cell phone, iPod, DVD case, camera and even some snacks. It was astonishing how much he had. The gear he was carrying on him would have filled up a carry-on attaché case but he wisely placed his more important gear in a briefcase that served as his official carry-on.
