I'd add to that

a) use public transport
b) go to a busy shopping area

okay - okay ---- I give up ----I'm taking 1 large piece of luggage and my carry on!

Thank you for all the help

crp- don't "give up" on our account. I have been that poor miserable soul dragging luggage through an airport. Once in Mexico City, a friend and I once piled into a VW bug taxi with the following:

6 pieces of luggage (the kind with NO wheels). Two sets of golf clubs, and a FULL SIZE boom box (like they didn't have radios in Mexico, right?) Have you seen the circus clowns falling out of a car at the circus? Yes, that was us, minus the clown suits, and the strap on noses! Oh yeah, it was August...

freeman 0819 ---- that was very funny -
I have seen those clowns at a Circus in NY.
Okay, now that we have the luggage figured out --- please give me some suggestions for lunch and supper -
I posted under a food topic -- but maybe you all can help out ---

We could have given Ringling Brothers a run for their money that day. :)
