It’s amazing how many travelers I run into who give me strange looks when I tell them the carry-on bag I’m holding is all the luggage I’m taking. They just don’t understand it. And it’s gotten even worse since I switched to a non-wheeled bag.
In a follow up to the recent posting, “Solution: Wear it,” I thought it might be interesting to post reasons people have told you why they can’t “one bag” it.
Here are some I’ve heard:
1) What if I need something I leave at home?
2) I’m on vacation, I don’t want to do laundry.
3) My wife won’t let me.
4) Everything I carry is essential and there is no way I could get it into one small bag.
5) I need a bag that size just for: shoes, electronics, make-up, my work out clothes—take your pick.
6) I don’t want to smell bad.
7) I’m not some hippie backpacker.
Your turn…….
