Packing for a trip

My mother's youngest sister is coming to visit and help me with some genealogy studies. My aunt has photos, documents, access to the LDS files etc. So as my aunt as gathering letters and documents to come visit she indicated she was planning to ship the genealogy resources before hand so she had less to carry on the plane. I went into an automatic panic!!! I suggested my aunt ship me her clothing and carry the documents. We discussed it and decided we knew what was much more valuable. We could always replace clothing. But to risk the documents to any carrier was just too frightening for us. We would not be able to breath the whole time the documents were in transit. So it is decided -- Aunt will ship the clothing and pack the documents as a carry-on. Phew!!! that was a close one!!!
