Just returned from an Ontario Sailing training camp in Miami at the US Sailing Centre. The trip was great but the luggage is not. We still use a super strong, two part suitcase designed to protect ski gear from air travel. I’ve weighed the darn thing and it comes in at 10lbs before I put in a single pair of shorts. The last three times I’ve travelled, despite pre-weighing here at home (has anyone checked those scales at the airport recently?) I’ve been overweight on luggage and paid the consequences.
Any suggestions for light weight, high volume, strong travel luggage on wheels? Has to be big enough to carry personal sailing gear – the dagger board etc is all in a the rigid equipment case with “fragile” luggage and they never seem to weigh that “almost too heavy to carry” piece. I’d love to hear your suggestions.
Archive for Packing
Are you still fussing with liquids and containers when travelling? Have you invested yet in the travel size containers for your business travel kit? Make the commitment. They are widely available in a variety of price points. Do yourself a favour and pick up a package.
They usually come with several bottles and a couple of jars, all measured to meet international travel requirements. I have found them available at Canadian Tire Corporation and the Solutions Store. They fit perfectly and without fuss into most travel kits – even for those of us who don’t travel as much!
