Baggage and luggage

Playing the "Avoid excess baggage charges" Game with the Airlines has now become a habit with Some..For Me on US visits,I have a rolling duffle bag as hold luggage which takes my minimum clothing requirements,toilet bag,heavier clothing I might need,and gifts,which usually all tops out at the limit..I had a smallish shoulder bag which was "Carry On" sized,and though getting on in Years and airmiles was used often on short trips to London on its own and in cabin transatlantic...My Fiance's Cat decided it was His on my previous trip,and Marked it,so it got retired then.I bought a cabin sized roller set on my return-it had a toiletry bag (now going in the hold bag) and an insert travel bag which I can keep with Me with my ipod,headphones,and travel documents inside while the small roller can stay in the overhead bin..essentials for Me would be a neck pillow,a set or 2 of rechargeable batteries,and my travel charger which runs from a UK mains transformer at home,or when abroad,from a car 12V supply-I picked up a US 110V to 12V Adapter,so I can plug in from the mains or in a car on road trips..there's also a 12v to USB plug for my USB powered gadgets! anything else I can buy as required..those little hotel sized toiletries have proven very handy on a trip,too-would recommend those..

Hi maxine, I´m the suitcase with wheels type. And I have a very small one that I use when I go to warm places and a bigger one for colder places that need more clothes. I will take the smaller one to Aruba next March even if it´s for two weeks. I don´t have any need of showing off dresses. Essentials for me include my pills, my camera, my eyeglasses, a book and some coffee (smuggled) I take shoes that won´t hurt my feet: that is also very important. Take care!

I have a hand-carry sized wheelie luggage that I brought for short domestic trips. It's good for about five days for me. I've only had it for about four months, but so far, I've brought it on all my trips. The things that I always have to pack are my chargers. I have to bring one for my camera, for my ipod and my phones.

When I travel I use a backpack or a suitcase and a handbag. When my husband and I travelled around in Europe for one month I borrowed a big backpack from my brother's girlfriend, and it was very nice to travel that way. When we we travelled around in Latvia and Lithuania last year we had two suitcases and our handbags, but the backpack that we borrowed was big enough for everything and it was nice that we didn't need to carry more than one bag. In my handbag I carry the most important things like money, my passport and my medicine. I keep some of husband's medicine as well and he keeps some of mine in case we lose one of the bags.

I also travel a lot for work. But my trips are usually short 1-3 day trips. So I only have a small carry on luggage that I lug around. It also have wheels for longer days when it is full. So that I don't have to lift it. I have travel size essentials in there that I only replace when I run out. But the one thing that is always in the luggage is my computer!

I am not used to travel bringing a luggage or baggage.it just backpack which my i week budget clothes is in.then a small sling bag which all my personal cares are in including my wallet. it's just that way for me to have easy travel.
