A a mail to Santa Claus the stars and stripes Apo a 09211commentary in by Mark Lane Cox news service some say the Light traveler is a fuzzy minded Optimist. Heedless of what he might encounter he packs a Toothbrush and a change of underwear then leaps headlong into a dangerous world. Believing there Are soap towels and Little bottles of shampoo somewhere Down the line he is sadly unaware of what lurks ahead. I be heard the indictment and Don t buy it. It is a lie perpetrated on an unwitting. Public by agents of the Luggage manufacturing Complex and the makers of travel Irons. I believe instead the opposite is True. The cult of traveler preparedness rests on a single naively touching article of Faith your checked through Luggage will be waiting for you at the terminal. Right. All the travel Irons separate zippered compartments freeze dried food first Aid kits map and guides sweaters packed just in Case it gets unseasonably Cool lists of important phone numbers water purification pills batteries locks Medicine and changes of clothing must somehow a arrive when you do to be of any use. The heavy traveler believes they will. And Why does the heavy traveler bring these clothes tools and accessories obviously because he believes he will have the kind of trip that requires them. Think about it. The heavy Packer believes he will have the Opportunity to try j so Many different activities that he must be equipped and dressed for each of them. Sure bring a swimsuit a a if you really think the Pool will be open and the Shore Waters swim Mable. Sure bring formal dress. You Are certain to get tickets to the play and reservations at that Fine restaurant you read about. By All Means bring your rackets because you think the hotel has a court like the one pictured in the brochure. Bring along your clubs too because the Golf course is bound to have convenient tee times open. Bring hiking shoes because the article said the Trail is easy to get to. A a a a a now consider which kind of Packer really is prepared for the world As we know i exactly. A this is Why the younger traveler is More Likely to Over pack. It is  optimism and untried idealism of youth. When my daughter assessed her needs for a slumber party i was unsure of whether to Call for a moving Van or Fork lift. I decided instead to prevail upon her to alter her plans. Not All heavy travellers Are As easily dissuaded As one who can t drive. I be even been told that strict carry on travel is a Guy thing. Mere packing Macho. Not so although packing philosophy is a question of Basic innate temperament and possibly genetically determined. It is a defining Outlook. The kind that makes one an agnostic or believer Liberal or conservative Early or late Riser. It cannot be bridged. The Best one can Hope for is to rein in More extreme manifestations. L am As you May guess a person of the carry on persuasion. My training is As a reporter which Means i am in a Field that depends on a steady Supply of disaster. This tends to Warp one s expectations. Nearly As much As watching daytime. Television. A person of such a temperament sees a suitcase As Little More than a Small Box of items doomed to be lost broken stolen stained or found floating in the Ocean by fishing boats. What would you dare put in such a Box other than perhaps a few Michael Bolton tapes where other people see a travel Iron i see a device that when viewed under an Airport scanner could bring in a swat team and bomb squad ready to. Disassemble and detonate it while you Are hauled away for questioning by edgy men with machine guns. Just a possibility. There Are Many others. Travel Light and carry lots of quarters. That s my motto for travelling in an Uncertain and irrational world. _ _ Mark Lana la an aaa Colata editor at Tho Daytona Beach news Roumal in Florida <.1 a Tri Mission As of Dalton Tea is offering visitors special now rates compare daily rate pric1si i n n v it v s. \ s a is is s  to adapts.
