We made it to MSP. At the Minneapolis airport, Pat Larson waits with the bags in line at curbside check-in. Curbside check-in is your friend... Note that the rolling bag with the mauve pack on top isn't ours - our stuff starts with the brown suitcase and the red and white ice chest. We made this trip in March. In April, Northwest Airlines changed their rules - you're still allowed two free suitcases (or other pieces of luggage as seen here) and a small carry-on-sized bag, but you're no longer allowed to check your carry-on bag for free.

Q. What has the highest priority of any air cargo? A. Packages marked AOG: "Aircraft On Ground." This designates materials needed to get a grounded (disabled) airplane somewhere flying again.
