The Perfect Personal Carry-On

I just came back from a work-related trip in Sacramento. So I just took my usual spinner luggage and my company-issued backpack as I have to bring my laptop with me. Unfortunately, the issued laptop backpack does not have a trolley sleeve. So since I cannot put my backpack on top of my luggage, I have to carry it around on my back. Now that I am back, I am paying for it. My back still hurts and I think my neck is still sore from all that weight. Next time I have to travel, I will not bring that backpack again. I will just use my personal backpack that has a trolley sleeve.

@amadeo It was a small, private one. Just the minister and my husband's family and a couple of friends. My family was not able to come to the US because of immigration issues. Go figure!

When I was a young backpacker I carried a 20 kilo backpack very easily. Now I am 46 years old I take a much less heavy backpack especially if I take a trip on a budget airline. A backache is really horrible so I hope it goes away soon. It is hard to for me to push my son's wheelchair and bring along a hand luggage sized suitcase. If my backpack is too heavy then it is uncomfortable.

Yes, I was the same when I was younger. I cannot believe that 10 years ago I would climb mountains with friends and carry a pack of food, water, some first aid kits, and clothes.

Sorry to hear of that. Hope it feels better. Glad the trip went smooth though! What was Sacramento like?

It was a glorious 84-degree weather all throughout the training. When talking to the hubs, he said our temperature in the Midwest dropped to 65. Yikes!
