Put pants in and leave the legs draped outside the luggage. Leave the arms of your shirts outside your luggage. After you have layered everything in, then fold all the hanging clothes over and into the luggage. You won't believe how much room it saves, and the bonus is, your clothes don't wrinkle.<BR/>Rose(I can't wait to see her again) and I will miss UKLynn as she won't be able to join us on Friday.

What I love is that one can see these casts closely, which is not possible to do at many of the original sights as they are often high up on walls or above doorways. This brings everything into view where the enchanting details can be observed and elicit thoughtful comments like Buzzgirl's. Your photo is very lovely and captures the magic of this museum perfectly. I love the red color they chose for the interior, and what looks like broken marble pieces for the floor.
