Some people avoid checking in their luggage because it’s a short trip, others do so for cost reasons and others may have a tight connection or just simply out of habit.. I’ve done it for the first three reasons and it does take more planning.. eg no sharps like my swiss knife and no fluids So, I'm due for a conference in Manila and I was told that the airport isn't the best https://www.rappler.com/business/naia-worst-airport-asia-new-operator-san-miguel-incheon-turn-things-around/ So I've decided to just bring a carry on, maybe a backpack / trolley with wheels and avoid the whole process.. So I've asking what do others do and do share your tips. For shorter trip with no business clothes, I'll take the smaller Osprey or my old Eagle Creek (EAGLE CREEK TRAVEL GEAR WORLD JOURNEY LC) These definitely fit the criteria https://www.indietraveller.co/farpoint-55-review/ Or this one if there's no hiking If it's a multi-day trip, eg up to a week, I'll take my trusty Osprey, especially if it's SIA, because they are more flexi on larger carry on. Don't try it for budget airlines or US flights, they tend to be more strict, and definitely not for smaller planes, eg turboprops which have much smaller in cabin storage spaces They weighed my bags and me on such flights, partly to balance out the passengers I think.. I also took a flight across the Grand Canyon to flagstaff from LV and they were really strict. https://thepointsguy.com/reviews/luggage-review-osprey-farpoint-70-travel-backpack/ If you need to pack a suit, then I may choose a suit bag, and just add some socks / underwear if it's under three days. In Asia, you often get free toiletries, so I even skip those for short trips. When I was in Cambodia, I also used an Osprey Atmos 50 pack, and simply carried it onto the Silkair plane. (not related to Osprey, but I really like their stuff) Another thing is to pack or wear your suit, then it doesn't count towards the weight and luggage, especially if it's a large or thick rain jacket or down one. How about you?

Here's the description from the poster WTF!

Someone in Argentina chose to park his or her car in the wrong spot and was taught a lesson by the Supermarket's employees. As reported by Fox News, the driver of a silver Peugeot 208 decided to park the small French hatchback in an area where shopping trolleys are stored. To get back at the driver for causing much inconvenience, the employees decided to surround the Peugeot with dozens of shopping carts so it couldn’t get out. Images of the hilarious scene were shared online by facebook user Arnold Angelini who was took the photos after catching a movie in the shopping center at around 11pm . He wrote in Spanish, throwing his support behind the supermarket employees. The post went viral on Facebook and since its posting one week ago, more than 6,900 users have shared it

To the MCFer who was at the meetup yesterday: Heard from my wify that she saw your son fall off from the 'giant' trolley yesterday when you were going up the ramp, just want to check how is he now? Heard he landed on his head first. My wify wasn't able to help as she was busy with our baby girl.

I don't know where to post this so here goes... Anyone got trolley that I can borrow? I'll be moving house on the 7th of Sept. Got lowlee, got manpower but has yet to find a trolley yet. Any kind souls out there can rent me one? If you have 1 please PM me. Prefably the bigger sized one. Kam siah to all!!!
