Avoid Baggage Fees - Step by Step Budget Travel Tips Mark Kahler, licensed to About.com
Do you love to snorkel? Do you hate renting equipment other people have used? If so, you're likely to take up a good part of your one bag with a bulky mask, snorkel and perhaps even fins. But the outfit in this picture is designed to fold up into a very small pouch that will stow away in a small corner of your bag. That's right--it's designed to do that. It was made in an age when one bag travelers demand products that will help them be more efficient with limited luggage space. There are plenty of accessories on the market that help cut down on baggage fees. Find them, and do yourself a favor. By the way, the snorkel and mask work as well as any I have ever used. Don't sacrifice quality for the sake of efficient packing!
