I have much to thank Katrina for…

The hurricane forced me to move to Jefferson Parish, which worked out for the best for me— not the least reason being that if I hadn't moved out of the Garden District, I'd never have bought an Airstream due to a lack of anyplace close by to store it. My Garden District apartment building had 11 parking spaces for 25 apartments (actually 12 but the dumpster took up one), first-come first-served, and everyone else had to park on the street. At my present apartment complex, there are more parking spaces than apartments, and I can park my Interstate at home.

The mass exodus of engineers from the New Orleans District of the Corps of Engineers who all went to work for private companies involved in the rebuilding effort resulted in a 15% locality supplement to the salaries of CoE engineers who stayed at the District, in order to make the CoE competitive enough to hire replacements. That supplement enabled me to retire a full seven years earlier than I would have without the locality supplement and at the same retirement pay, so I have the time to enjoy my Airstream more.

Some could be used in a pinch, but the Travelsafe is in a league of its own for what it accomplishes, I think. For instance I also have their Exo-mesh bag surround... you can insert a number of items including a small carry-on into it, and lock it up in a manner similar to the Travelsafe. But it's such a P.I.T.A. that I rarely use it. It's like trying to handle a bundle of live snakes. Many of Pacsafe's original products focused on purse-snatching type crimes which is a different market segment. What we need is Interstate-snatching countermeasures.

Fortunately the Travelsafe is not discontinued - just sold out.
