I do it all the time for Europe. And remember, a handbag (or backpack) is NOT considered carry on so you can put a lot of stuff in that :)<BR/><BR/>Don't know much about the list of books you mentioned but all I can say is take one that appeals to you and then if you can leave it behind, so much the better. That's what I do with some of my books now.<BR/><BR/>We used to have a bin like that too but since our episode with bed bugs, I asked the property manager to remove it. Anyone wanting to leave clothing or stuff is asked to take it somewhere else. I don't want to take any chances. And of course, because people are lazy and can't read, they still leave stuff. But now there is a notice saying it's going to be chucked. Once we get the all clear, in about a year or so, we'll put the bins back.Cycling Goddesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15365817168224699607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6759020785662372535.post-56200388097711332692008-08-13T11:13:00.000-04:002008-08-13T11:13:00.000-04:00Everyone: Since I'm only taking carry on luggage -...Everyone: Since I'm only taking carry on luggage - I know, I'm amazing, if I can pull it off - it may come down to what fits.

It would be a "Take it Shed" - you bring your unwanted items (no trash) and anyone is free to take what they want or need. I don't even care if they re-sell them, as long as it keeps stuff out of the landfill.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6759020785662372535.post-54357096697494227022008-08-12T17:51:00.000-04:002008-08-12T17:51:00.000-04:00I can't remember anything I read.
