WORLD VIEW: Next time you're in Alabama ...

... you might want to check out the Unclaimed Baggage Center, which buys unclaimed luggage from airlines and resells it at bargain basement prices in a retail center that covers more than a city block. While you're there, grab a cup of Starbucks and drop the rugrats off at the children's area while you get your shop on. Check it out at:

My favorite part of the site is the Interesting Stuff (odd things that have been found in people's unclaimed luggage). Interesting Stuff features a What Is It? contest where you can win a T-shirt if you correctly guess what an unidentified item is and explain how it is used:

The site also offers some travel tips, and I guess if anyone should know what NOT to do, it would be the good people at the Unclaimed Baggage Center!:
