Luggage allowance
An exclusive photo of the luggage that Claremont brings for a 3 1/2 week tour.
Well, actually not anymore since the airlines have started charging $15 to check your first bag and even more for subsequent bags. We've had to cut back. But it felt like that much luggage as we carted it around various airports and airplanes yesterday. It's back on the road again for us and before we see the beautiful streets of NYC again, we'll travel through California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, North Dakota, New Mexico, North Carolina and Georgia.
On a trip last month I came across a new airport innovation of which I became an instant fan:
I don't know if this word would be accepted by Merriam-Webster's yet but after you've removed your shoes, belt, coat, scarf, laptop, liquids, gels and water bottle to go through the security check-point, it is a relief to find such an area!
Airport trivia: Can anyone name the airports where these two photos were taken?

These are great, Julie. I have NO idea where these are but every airport should have a recombobulation area!

I'm pretty sure that the only airport that I've ever seen with the recombobulation area is Milwaukee's Mitchell International Airport.
However, I have no Idea where the other picture was taken :)

YES! Milwaukee (MKE) is the correct answer for the second photo. And now any takers for the first?
I think that stack of luggage looks a lot like something I've seen at Sacramento Airport.
Fine performance, last night, @ UOP in Stockton. One of the very best concerts in the Friend of Chamber Music, in this or any other season (and there have been some terrific concerts in the past!)
Thanks for coming to Stockton!
Also correct! Thanks for having us in Stockton. It was great meeting some of you in the audience last night after the concert. We hope to see you again sometime!
Land sakes! That doesn't look safe at all; it's a leaning tower of pizza, I mean Pisa, waiting to fall on somebody head! If that's how they stack the luggage, then no wonder things get discombobulated. Thanks for the heads-up on this lapse of airport safety! I feel bad for the guy who left his airline ticket in that tower of doom =O
Given the fact that you likely will sell thousands of your CDs on this 3 1/2 week tour you recently have started, that amount of luggage looks about right to me. By the way, after all your traveling, I bet that all three of you have gotten very good at recombobulating quickly.
