Looks like we’ll be traveling this coming summer! I’m so happy to hear that. I really would love to have a trip where we can away for a longer time. It’s been a while since I had any decent vacation. But I guess when you own your own business, that it simply becomes impossible to have a decent vacation. I’m hopeful one day that things will change enough that we can have a longer vacation, ie. several months.

But in the meantime, I have to start planning the trip to visit friends and family, so we’ll likely need some luggage. Of course, with strikes, lost baggage, changing flights, I very much favor just a simple Kipling carry-on bag that I don’t need to check. My wife, however, has OTHER plans. She always checks luggage, even though it adds an extra amount of hassle on carrying, checking, and waiting for at the destination airport. Whenever I travel, I can be out of the airport so fast, it’s crazy. Why don’t women travel light?
