Needing a new stove and dealing with the confiscated stove/fuel bottle issue has me leaning towards an alcohol burner. Just have to make sure some form of iso, Heet or denatured is available at the destination.

The duffle bag, wrap your pack with your pad is a great idea. The only issue I have is having to waste space and the additional mass of carrying around the duffle. Have not tried it, but was thinking about using the pack raincover, sleeping pad wrap finally covered by tent ground cloth. Anyone try using their tent footprint/groundcloth as a wrap using some web straps to keep the package together?

Just returned from Venezuela. All the airports down there had a shrink wrap service available at the checkin. Been a few years since I've flown out of MIA, but remember Miami International had shrink wrap available. A final layer of real environmentaly unfriendly (minimal) protection.
