I agree with several of you... I hate bringing bags through the airport, but now my mind has changed. 50 lbs for free isn't really a lot if you are bringing your toiletries with you so i just invested in a spinning roller bag to put some extras in. I envied all of my friends theirs on my last international trip and think they are worth looking into.

I also put my important stuff and electronics in a small bag that I keep with me at my seat. get one with a large enough handle/shoulder strap so you can hook it over your rolling carry on for more ease of movement within the airport.

As for cords, I now carry a zip lock bag with extra chargers that I have bought on-line cheap. I leave it in my bag all the time. Now i am always ready to leave and also don't have to undo and redo all my home cords when packing and unpacking and I never forget a cord. Its great for travel, and weekends to the beach. I write an inventory of the cords on the outside of the bag with a sharpie so that when I am packing to return home I remember every cord and adaptor that I brought with me ( my husband once left a charger adaptor in the wall on a trip to disney with kids and we couldn't charge the video camera when we got to our next hotel)

The best investment I made was in a monster travel power cord. It is very small and light, plugs into itself and is very handy when your hotel room has hardly any outlets.

I got mine on amazon
