I run group trips to Europe.  When I tell everyone going on the trip that everything must be in a carry-on, no checked luggage, I can tell that they think I am some sort of nut. 

I’ve got a video on my website, http://www.travelingprofessor.com on how I pack everything in a carry-on for trips of any duration.

I definitely want to follow this. Around the world with no baggage would crack me up after a couple of days. What about your favorite items like an iPod or something?
