Take the two bottles of whiskey, put them, individually, in layers of plastic bags and secure the tops of them with rubberbands, then wrap them burrito style in layers of clothes and an outer layer of books on all four sides and in between, to make a sort of 1 inch think box (made of the books) on outside of the padding directly on the inside of the back pack. Get the little airline accesible padlocks, lock the zipper ends together, tag it and then check the bookbag with your other luggage. So it's plastic wrapped whiskey, rolled in clothing, armoured by books, bundled up in the back pack! That should survive the apocalypse! Almost sounds like something to eat! Your laptop, wrapped in a sweater or something, in the case, in the middle of your other things, packed tightly, should be fine. "Gift wrap" each electronic thingy in an article of clothing and stuff them in tighly so things don't shift, Just like you said, if you need to ship anything, ship the light weight bulky stuff because it's by the pound... If you need help with shipping I have a UPS account, but I don't know if it will work coming from that direction. I'll have to check. The final thing you need to do is put a big red sticker on the outside that says DANGER EXPLOSIVES, that way they will handle it with the upmost of care! LOL! Sorry just teasing couldn't quite restrain myself on that one.... I guess you could mark it FRAGILE - GLASS, but that sounds a little boring.... For any meds and vitamins you want to take on the flight, get some big zip lock type clear bags, that should make it easier, remember to leave all pills in their original bottles. And no liquid medications can be carried on... Any way, right or wrong, that's what I would do.... Love you, and I'm praying that the solution will present itself to you directly.... Sounds like you're mostly there already Yikes! It's twelve thirty I better go before I turn into a pumpkin....prehaps I already have! Happy, Safe Travels, my dear. Cuddles and a smoochie on the cheek! A C Hi Megan,

Can you abide “one” more “helpful hint?” Take the two bottles of whiskey, put them, individually, in layers of plastic bags and secure the tops of them with rubberbands, then wrap them burrito style in layers of clothes and an outer layer of books on all four sides and in between, to make a sort of 1 inch think box (made of the books) on outside of the padding directly on the inside of the back pack.

So it’s plastic wrapped whiskey, rolled in clothing, armoured by books, bundled up in the back pack! That should survive the apocalypse! Almost sounds like something to eat!
