People who bring HUGE carry on luggage when they board a plane....?

Your board is too long to fit in a carry on bag. A carry on bag cannot be any longer than 22", and your board extends this by 5". It might fit under the seat, but it will stick out by quite a bit and be a tripping hazard.

You could put it in checked luggage if it is that important that you take it with you.

No! Why would you think something 27" long would fit under the seat in front of you? There is barely enough room for your feet to fit in there.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
