I would love to be able to do a carry on, but since the whole liquid issue I just don't have the time or patience to go through everything I want to bring to check the ounces on it, then transfer it to something that is the proper "travel" size. I have too many body sprays, too much stuff for my hair because it's super curly and it takes a LOT too keep it under control in the JA humidity...ohhhhh to be carefree with just a bag with some clothes.
