Good Luggage
Posted on | January 23, 2010 | No Comments
It’s always a must for traveling. We want to make sure you are prepared to become world travelers!!! Happy travel puts you in a much better mood when you reach your destination. It’s so frustrating to ball all of your stuff up into a bag where it gets wrinkled and then you have to “steam” your clothes in the shower, use the sub standard iron at the hotel or get your clothes pressed at the hotel for $6 an item (or more).
Well, having the right luggage these days brings on a whole list of considerations. For starters, I try to carry on everything I can so I don’t have to check anything. Of course, it doesn’t always work out that way but it is not fun to pay extra money to check bags which stand a reasonable risk of getting lost or “misplaced” for the duration of your trip. That’s just frustrating!
So, you’ll need good carry on luggage which works with you getting through security and you’ll need good luggage for checking (preferably something where the zipper is not going to pop off and leave your belongings all over the tarmac. You’ll want something with compartments so that you can organize. You’ll want to be able to separate your underwear, bathing suits, toiletries, shoes and dress clothes. And, you’ll want something that is easy to manage through security and it is sized properly to meet the minimum carry on requirements. The airline you use for travel will have their regulations for carry on bags on their website. For example, American Airlines allows two items a personal item and a carry on item. The personal item is allowed a “total length” 36 inches and the carry on item is allowed a total length of 45 inches. Each bag cannot exceed 40 pounds either. To calculate “total length”, just add the length+width+height.
That’s it for the most part. Now that you have an idea what you will need on your world travels (via cancun of course), you’ll want to start looking into some brands: Hartmann Luggage, Tumi Luggage and Delsey Luggage. Happy Shopping!
