 Hi: 

Most of us have packed for vacations, but the idea of one suitcase for six months is challenging. Not wanting to be sexist, but as a woman I find it daunting. I have also heard of horror stories of the cost of extra luggage. One friend was charged $900.00 for one extra suitcase her return trip from Africa. Expensive souvenirs.

Hi

Travel has certainly changed since I lugged the side of a cow around Africa.The new light nylon luggage with wheels makes moving quickly possible.

Not all places work with wheels however. Cobble-stoned streets, massive steps, dirt roads; all sorts of places require you to carry your luggage.

It's a good word, really, lugging luggage.

Packing light is easier and easier, thanks to techno, breathable fabrics that protect you from wind, can be washed and dried overnight, scrunched up and still look good.
