Just returned from Europe last seek, Scott. If your equipment is
small enough, carry it on. In fact, carry everything you are taking
with you and never let it out of your sight. (I often tie it to my
wrist when experiencing vast time changes because I'm tired and
easily distracted after long journeys.) With the size of equipment
now days, I travel to places like Africa for a month with just
carry-on. That way, all my gear and clothes are with me at all times.
Like I tell my lovely wife, if you can't carry it, don't take it.
Just make sure that everything fits into two bags that will fit
either in the overhead compartment of under the seat in front of you.
That's the limit. No exceptions.
As for security/customs, I found it easier and faster in Europe than
in the good ol' USA. On the return home, got through the whole mess
at Heathrow incl. checkin, security and customs, in less than 10
minutes. No problem.
Oh yeah, one more thing. If you have the option, fly foreign carriers
rather than American, these days. Reasons: obvious.

Syd and others,
I have reviewed my recordings and found 15 favorites totaling 27 minutes. I
will reduce that to what ever is allowed.
If we want to do this we should start a list of contributors and the length
of their recordings.
I guess Greg Clark will master the cd's. However if necessary I can master
them.
I am doing about 100 for the Reference Library so a few more is no problem.
I would suggest everyone interested add to this list and we will see what
happens.
