In front of my in the TSA line today was a traveler with just his briefcase – no luggage (not even a laptop). I thought, “how lucky to just have a day trip and not have to pack a bag.” I had one of those day trips once – just once in all my years of business travel.
But maybe this traveler is taking advantage of Eclozets and his clothes will be waiting for him upon arrival at his hotel. Eclozets is a service that carries an inventory of your clothes. Let them know when you’re traveling and what clothes you want sent and they’ll take care of it. Your clothes will be waiting for you upon your arrival and they’ll be picked up the morning after you check out to be dry cleaned and returned to their hub. Hmmm … interesting concept.

I am starting to have as many suitcases as I do laptop bags! I feel like Goldilocks and The 4 Bags – trying out each bag to find the one that is just right. Though the ‘right’ luggage is different depending on the length of my trip. Here’s my collection of bags and when I use each one, along with what I like (and not like) about each. This week I’m using my brand new Hartman 22” Tweed Mobile Traveler (compliments of Delta for my million-miler gift). Beautiful in design and functionality… just way too heavy for me to get into the overhead bin. Will Goldilocks ever find the perfect luggage?
