Carrying off the art of one carry-on

by SP on January 16th, 2007

“Phileas Fogg had Passepartout, Bertie Wooster had Jeeves and Sir Edmund Hillary had a retinue of stalwart Sherpas. The rest of us, alas, must schlep our own bags.

That’s the best reason to pack light, but it’s not the only one. By limiting ourselves to one carry-on, we can be off the plane and halfway to Boulevard Saint-Germain while others huddle expectantly around the luggage carousel. We don’t worry that our checked bags will take an unplanned detour to Duluth or Dar es Salaam. ”

Personally, I can’t see how this could possibly be done. Sure my husband has it down to a fine art, but he gets a lot more practice at it than I do. He travels all the time! And I have a feeling that he just might drop stuff off at the front desk to be cleaned… which isn’t a bad idea. But when we travel on holiday, usually the rental property comes with a washer and dryer. But who wants to spend time doing laundry while you are vacation. If you take everything you own… problem solved.
