Could you also please write a post for a thirty-something who finds herself wearing the exact same thing that a few fifty somethings are wearing, but won't look good in twenty something clothing anymore and has a super hard time putting any clothes together, hates shopping and has a goodwill sized budget? Sigh. I know.

We found it to be lighter than most others, not too expensive and he can travel with just that for a week long trip. It does not wheel upright though. My son desperately wants an upright wheelie suitcase for himself. I told him to wait until he has a job :)Raji P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08454013409152866521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9212501049425940906.post-40067080487554093482011-04-06T04:45:19.314-07:002011-04-06T04:45:19.314-07:00Good tips.

Considering my bags are usually extremely heavy (and walking to/from the train station to the terminal and then to the gate can be a trip of its own) eliminating even the relatively low stress on my arms and back from rolling a slanty carry-on would be great.cwoodf1https://www.blogger.com/profile/01411697843111973164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9212501049425940906.post-46148540028323731312011-04-05T19:16:16.240-07:002011-04-05T19:16:16.240-07:00Can I just hire you to come and pack for us for ou...Can I just hire you to come and pack for us for our next trip in 2 weeks?

Too late for me.<br /><br />2. Travel woollite and/or travel-size Febreze spray are your friends. As are fabrics that dry quickly. Why pack more clothes when you can wear items multiple times?<br /><br />3. Color coordinate so you can mix and match tops with fewer pairs of pants.<br /><br />4. Wear your bulkiest items/multiple layers on the plane, especially your biggest shoes. You can always take off layers in flight.<br /><br />5. Roll don't fold your clothes.<br /><br />6. The smaller your underwear is (think thongs), the more you can pack in a smaller space. Though I only follow this advice when absolutely desperate... ;-)Ericahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06493684126932596139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9212501049425940906.post-44746885214856951242011-04-05T13:50:27.575-07:002011-04-05T13:50:27.575-07:00"Now, find somewhere to go; you need an excus..."Now, find somewhere to go; you need an excuse to practice packing!"<br /><br />well all right, if you insist ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
