    Tamra, I'd suggest shipping your equipment to your hotel via Fed Ex.
    It will be expensive but at least you will have tracking and
    insurance available if anything were to happen to it. You should let
    your hotel know if your package will arrive before you check in. Most
    of your tools probably wouldn't be allowed as carry-on on the plane.
    With the possibility of baggage being lost or misdirected (or
    pilfered), there is no way I would trust the airline with my tools.
    If you do check it in your baggage, buy some travel insurance and
    remember that you can't lock your baggage anymore. I once got called
    back from my gate to the check in counter to take little lock of my
    baggage or they wouldn't send my bags. That was a very long walk that
    made me very unhappy.

Good Luck,
