:-( To me, the rum breakage is the result of poor packing. I could be
wrong. I brought five bottles of olive oil in my suitcase from Italy
and Rob brought a couple bottles of wine in his. I went over there with
bubble wrap and plastic bags and all was well. They were well cushioned
by various bits of clothing -- roll the bottles into the clothing. I
always put a note on top saying what's in there and would they please be
careful if they open the suitcase.
