Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / February 2004Luggage Tag
I have some photos of Persia on Webshots and they offer a variety of things you can do with your photos. Since I'm planning to take a trip in the Spring, and since *everyone* seems to have a grey nubby garment bag that looks just like mine, I ordered a luggage tag from them to attach to it. Oh, it's too cute! And good sized, too. Persia on one side and I can write my return info on the other side using a marker. So if it's lost, or if it's stacked up in that pile of other bags looking just like it, all I have to do is look for the photo of Persia :) Jill (in no way affiliated with Webshots) Great idea, Jill! My last few trips to Denver by air, I noticed at luggage arrival levels in terminals that the "in" color for hardside, and most soft-side as well, luggage is *black*. My hardshell Samsonite rollywheel bags are indistinguishable from hundreds of others, but several years ago I tied on bright orange ribbons to handles, giving a strange Halloween decor effect, but I can jump right up and grab 'em first time around without alarming anyone else whose black luggage may have been nabbed by mistake. I suggest something similar for instant recognition......those luggage rotaters, once they finally get going, move pretty fast around and around......endlessly. : I have some photos of Persia on Webshots and they offer a variety of things : you can do with your photos.

That's a good idea! I've been wondering how to make my big black suitcase distinguishablöe from other big black suitcases. I had been thinking about cutting out a big profile of a cat in some neon-coloured tape and stick it on the sides. Ah well, I'm not travelling anywhere in the near future.  SignatureMarina, Frank and Nikki Email marina (dot) kurten (at) pp (dot) inet (dot) fi Pics at http://uk.f1.pg.photos.yahoo.com/frankiennikki Stick the big cat on your luggage, Marina; anything to catch your eye on the moving cartwalk. It won't make your bags more likely to be searched....the TSA sees stranger things than that during a workday. : > I have some photos of Persia on Webshots and they offer a variety of : things [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] : cutting out a big profile of a cat in some neon-coloured tape and stick it : on the sides.

Just don't have any wires sticking out from the edge of the bag. :) That would probably put a serious delay in your trip. SignatureJohn F.

Probably better, since Persia is grey and sort of "matches" my garment bag LOL Jill >> I have some photos of Persia on Webshots and they offer a variety of >> things you can do with your photos.

Just ordered new luggage :) Great discount; needed some new stuff anyway. This is hunter green (yes, I could have ordred red or even pink!) A friend borrowed one of my bags a couple of years ago and over-stuffed it and tore the fabric, so I figure I'm due. Now the Persia tag will stand out even more :) Jill >> I have some photos of Persia on Webshots and they offer a variety of > things [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > cutting out a big profile of a cat in some neon-coloured tape and stick it > on the sides. Ah well, I'm not travelling anywhere in the near future. I use a couple of colored zip ties that are normally used for wires. I use soft luggage and run the ties through the zipper slides to hold it closed. If the bag needs to be opened they can do it easily but I know about it. I put another one around the carrying handle. I have 3 pieces of the rollaway type suitcases that are all black. They would look just like everyone else's luggage except they have bright red cherry's all over them! Can't miss 'em. Lots of people comment when they come out of the chute. They are very fun. On my old, beat up, dark green, hard side Samsonite luggage I used a black sharpie marker to draw a kitty face on each side and used a bright colored tag. Had no problem finding those in a sea of luggage!

When my mother came to visit me in December, I was helping her watch for her luggage. There was a large crowd around the conveyor belt, and people tried to help each other. Somebody asked another person what their bag looked like. The resigned response was, "Black with wheels." I think 90% of the bags on the belt were black with wheels. Well, at least 75%.

Make sure it's an unusual color so you can tell your from the luggage of others that do this same thing. Also make sure it's not so long that it gets caught in the machinery & torn off. I remember one time some people had even used a fluorescent dog collar on theirs (stronger than ribbon & harder to break - plus you can attach more 'tags' to it)! I've seen some suitcases with what looked like bright colored belts wrapped around them (supposedly to help keep them closed - we know that luggage handlers are as gentle with our luggage as UPS or the Postal Service is with our packages;) - as well as to identify).
