Travelling Light
From here...
...to here.
I flew to Western PA, on the 17th, to have an after-the-fact Christmas visit with my family, out there. I simply didn't feel like flying during the heavy Christmas flying season, and just delayed it for a few weeks.
Even without the holiday madness at the airport, I still wasn't particularly looking forward to flying. Last year, at the Pittsburgh airport, I had waited for almost an hour at the baggage claim before my bag finally appeared, and I didn't want a repeat of that.
So, I decided to skip the baggage pickup altogether, and I shipped my clothes and Christmas gifts to my sister's house, via FedEx. I didn't even take a carry-on bag with me. It was great!
It was very liberating to just walk onto the plane and sit down, fly, and walk directly out of the airport to get picked up, without wresting a bag around in the plane or standing around waiting on bags at the end.
I believe this will be my method for air travel, from now on...

You can also use a service (if you don't want to use UPS/FEDEX) that ships your suitcases straight to your hotel. I don't want to quote any companies as i've only read about such services a few years ago. But back then it was around $50 per suitcase and can be shipped days before your arrival.
