A few years ago I was in Barcelona and stumbled upon Wah Wah Records, a record shop/label which had reissued most of the Popol Vuh catalog. Suffice it to say, I returned home with some very heavy luggage and a much lighter wallet.
@benthos@vinylrecords I know the feeling.
I travel A LOT, and everytime I do, I have to leave a lot of my clothes behind in whatever city I’m in, to accommodate the records I’m returning home with.
It’s pretty embarrassing.
Dude… these are NICE shirts. Tossed aside in favor of 80s post punk and synthpop. 😂

It's important to have a good sized bag that qualifies as a "personal item", separate from the carry-on bag. It's remarkable how much you can fit under a seat. 💺
So, I take a big duffel bag for the overhead, which I lay a sweatshirt across the bottom in.
I take the 10-15 records I usually find and wrap them in a pillowcase, and make sure they’re snug and secure, and then put the clothes I DIDNT leave behind and neatly elastic them individually, rolled up, and lay them on top. It’s heavy….but always the right size.
Been doing this for 30 years. 😂
