San Francisco and Australia
Thursday, March 12, 2009 at 6:46PM Arriving late into San Francisco after midnight, left little time to complete anything worthwhile in the city before my flight back to Australia the following evening. The morning was spent sorting, cleaning and packing, which left the late afternoon to briefly explore one of the local parks and take in the sunset.
As it is every time I travel, the amount of equipment needed for photography far exceeds baggage allowances. This trip was “heavier” than usual due to the nature of the trip (NANPA conference, local shooting in SF, desert shooting and shooting in a very cold climates) resulting in the need for a variety of equipment and clothing to be brought from Australia. I was very surprised when Qantas staff at KSFO motioned me through without a second look at the number of bags I had (2 large checked bags, 1 checked pelican 1510), and a think tank international roll on, hand-carry bag, and photo backpack as carry on!!
I guess I was lucky - as usually I'm "stung" with hefty fees for excess baggage!
