I am trying to get more and more ready to deploy

on a vacation.

Not that I know where I am going yet, but…

I looked at luggage and am getting a little more

sophisticated about that.

 

First of all, forget taking two suitcases.  Besides

the fact that I don’t know if I could carry that much,

I see that the airlines are now charging for suitcases.

So I would have to pay to transport my suitcases each

way.

I am trying to imagine how little I could get by with

transporting.  For instance, I could conceivably

use a carry-on with wheels on it.

Some people like hard-sided suitcases, but as I

consider all this, it occurs to me that the hard

sides may add some extra weight I don’t want.

When I have been meeting family at the airport

recently, I have seen a number of folks who

have luggage that is like a backpack. So, that

is to say, that it can be a carryon, a wheeling

carryon, or a backpack.  That seems to have

everything I might want, if I can get all my

things into it.

Several people have told me that half of what

you take when traveling, you may not use, so

it is good to try to reduce clothing.  So I have

been looking in travel catalogs, to see what

clothing might be the most flexible and also

what clothing might be the lightest and easiest

to pack.
