Traveler Irritations

     One of the most irritating things about travel is packing and carrying luggage. Thankful for the advent of wheels, I still have personal irritation with myself for buying an expensive, light, strong suitcase - in BLACK. It looks like 90% of the other cases on the luggage carousel. I need to jazz it up with colored tags, duct tape and designs. My carry-on is extra small. It has my medications, my camera, a change of clothes, my itinerary information, and some of my liquids. It fits easily in the overhead bin.It too has wheels which is very helpful now that I do not do well carrying heavy luggage. I also wear a travel sport-coat which acts as a purse.  If I could I would pack everything in my carry-on but we usually go for three to four weeks at a time. Advice: buy brightly colored luggage and leave it below 26''s. You do not need every thing you own on a trip. Do bring a small package of laundry soap to help you reuse your clothing if it gets too stinky.
