I have one more question. I have a carry on that is the standard 9x14x22. When packed it's more like 10 inches deep... will they let me carry it on? If it were going to be warm for SURE, I could get it back down to 9 inches...LOL!!

p.s. thanks reader.... I will try that. I have packed everything but the kitchen sink and forgot my shampoo or blow dryer before. I will be checking carefully this time.

Looks like you might just make it! This is from Northwest's website- not sure whether different airlines have different measurements, or what airline you're flying on.

Carry-on Luggage
Carry-on luggage must fit underneath the passenger seat or in an overhead compartment. Maximum carry-on size is 45 in (9 x 14 x 22) or 115 cm (25 x 35 x 55). Maximum carry-on weight is 40 lbs (18 kgs).

"Special" Items
In addition to the free luggage allowance limit, the following items may be carried on or checked at no additional charge:



Coat
Umbrella
Crutches, cane, brace, or other prosthesis on which passenger is dependent
Collapsible manual wheelchair
One stroller
Infant car seat

NO PURSE????

United had the same dimensions listed so I would go under the assumption that they are all the same. So soon! Have fun!

Well, yeah. A purse is okay :) Maybe they just figure people consider their purse as a wallet and they won't ban that. LOL

More than everything you want to know about what you can and can't take, what (not) to wear to not beep, etc...I think you'll do good, Resortgirl, but just in case you have any doubts... (and leave those Cattle Prods and Brass Knucles at home- they're prohibited!)

RG - you are generally allowed two carryons, one of which can be a purse. I always have my little suitcase carryon, and a purse or small backpack.

The only time I had trouble with my carryon not fitting anywhere was my flight back from Austin. It was a tiny plane, I swear, and my carryon (same size as yours) would not fit overhead or underneath. They did take it from me when it wouldn't fit and did some kind of special check where they also handed it back to me as I got onto the runway ramp to exit the plane.

RG, Kar is talking about planeside check. You can carry on your bag (within those dimensions above...though I know I've had carry-ons that weighed more than 40 pounds).

In the cases when the small planes can't accommodate the carry-ons, they will take it from you just before you get on the commuter plane and stow it underneath for you. Then they will hand it back to you when you get off.

I haven't checked bags in over a year after learning about that!

You're going to be exhausted tomorrow night, RG! I hope you can get a little nap in before you have to get up.

I hope you guys have a great time in Phoenix.

I give up! Maybe I'll sleep on the Minneapolis to Phoenix flight. I have to drive to Fargo and fly from there to Minneapolis, but it's only an hour flight so I doubt I'll sleep then... In the meantime I'll catch up with my TVCH reading!

And if I can snap a pic of a hot masseuse for ya Who, I certainly will!!!

Oh and this is good news!!

The track of the storm will determine who ends up with enough snow to shovel and plow and who will just end up with a lot of cold air. It has the potential to produce over a foot of snow in parts of Minnesota and Wisconsin, the question mark of course is where.

Well, darnit anyway! No wonder I can't sleep!

Yay! We're here! We took a limo from the airport and rode in style to the resort. The hotel is beautiful, and luxurious! We've made our spa appointments for tomorrow, and we're already raiding the mini bar! Flights were uneventful and RG refused to buy food on the flight. She couldn't believe they charge you extra now!

Stay tuned, pics to come!
