What is my hope for this website.

This has been one of these days, if not weeks, where the extremists, trolls, haters and those benefiting from this site have voiced their beliefs.

Yet very few understand what I’m trying to accomplish.

So, let me spell it out.

I am trying to promote the concept of light, one-bag travel and offer information on how to accomplish that.

I’m not trying to get everyone to travel this way or insist it’s the only way to travel. Just the contrary. We all must figure out what is best for us. That might change depending on the type of trip we’re taking. Each of us has our own preferences, needs and wants. It is imperative that we abide by them and not someone elses.

Once we can get past this wheeled/non-wheeled fiasco, I hope the people coming to this site realize that most of the tips, gear reviews,  and concepts shared will work in either kind of bag.

Personally, having kept an eye on the negative postings, it seems that there are a few people who are coming here just to stir up trouble. And unfortunately, they’re taking up too much of our time.

It’s time to get back to talking about light travel. In the next few days I’m going to try to catch up with my gear reviews. With the holidays coming, some of you might be looking for travel related items to give to loved ones.

One last thing, if you are not interested in light, carry-on travel, please don’t waste your time at this website. It’s not for you. There are plenty of other travel web sites where you will find people who, in our lingo, like to pack heavy.
