I travel a great
deal, for both business and pleasure, and (like most seasoned traveler's)
have found that the lighter my bags, the more pleasant my journey.
Consequently, I have thought a lot about the subject, read extensively
on the issues. Most important, I have tried all this stuff out, experimenting
with a variety of solutions in many cases.
Mobility:
Small luggage bag or one bag. You needn't arrive
at airports as early. You can board trains, trams, and coaches with
alacrity. You can more easily deal with delayed transportation and
missed connections (because you can choose alternatives without worrying
about what will happen to your bags). You can travel as an air courier.
You can sell your seat (by volunteering to be "bumped")
on full flights. You will be among the first to leave the airport
for your destination, while others wait for bag's delivery and long
customs inspection queues. And you won't feel compelled to take the
first hotel room offered; you can easily walk out when the reception
counter person quotes too high a price. Economy: You don't have to pay porters
and the like to carry bags around for you. You will be more able to
take public transportation, rather than taxis and limos (where you
often pay extra for luggage). You can even walk. All of which will
also bring you into more intimate (and thus rewarding) contact with
the people and places you have come to visit.
Security:
By not having to check bags (or otherwise entrust it to the care of
others), you are much less likely to lose same (or its contents) to
theft, damage, or misrouting. Would that peace of mind were always
so easily acquired!
Here are some
leather bags designed with Genuine leather. These bags should last
you a long time if the bag is maintained.
