LOL... are u sure that those Vaccuum bags need a vaccuum to poof... cause that doesn't make any physical sense.... a vaccuum does just what the name implies (creates a Vaccuum, or in english, it decreases the pressure by sucking the air out of a space creating a negative pressure)... so if the vaccuum sucks the air out, how on earth would it put air back in??? I mean, if it did that, then instead of Vaccuuming, a Vaccuum would be called a Blower cause it would just blow your dirt all over. I think that all you need to do is just open the valve on those things and let air get in (since you have a negative pressure in the bag, the AIR will rush in just like into your lungs when you create a negative pressure by moving your diaphragm down). So, experiment with the bag but I am pretty sure you don't need a vaccuum to cause the POOF to occur. Maybe next week, I will give you a lesson on what the word POOF means in England... LOL... The air coming in will not cause a POOF per-say - unless you blow alot of hot air into the hole, but it will allow you to equilibrate the pressure and thus open the bag with ease.

Sure you can.... you won't ever have to use a vaccuum to POOF someone up... LOL... I am sorry, I had to get that in there... lol.... I know how stressfull it gets before moving, so I can understand.... when I get stressed, my technique to relax is simple... just take a deep breath and look around the room (or in this case, think about everyone else who is packing to come down here). I guarantee you that now that you have posted this, there will be people who read this and say... OMG, that's how you use those things... so don't worry about it. Have a safe trip to Saba, and I hope you enjoy yourself here.

I have flown off the rock officially... although the WinAir plane did have some problems (engine problem while landing so we were left waiting at the Saba airport for another plane)... but I made it home.... man is Canada cold... lets go skiing! The USMLE CAN wait.
