Travel Tip of the Week – Carry Ons
Photo by moon 69
Ever wonder how you are supposed to carry on a purse, a tote with stuff for the flight and your laptop? I used to take my small roll on suitcase and a purse. But now it makes more sense to use a multipurpose approach. In my small backpack, I can tote my laptop, my digital camera, my cell phone, a bottle of water and a snack, a book to read, and a small wallet. Best part is that carrying it on your back is pretty easy when jockeying up and down escalators. I have everything I would need for the flight all in one place.
The rest can go in my roll on which I can just check if I can’t also take it with me on board. Besides the usual packing items, I can pack a very soft and a collapsible tote bag that can double for a purse and shopping bag when I get to my destination.

I’m making a collection of the Longchamp bags that you see at airports – They’re hardwearing, elegant enough for smart city spots and fold flat when not in use and come in pretty colours that change each season. PS they’re not paying me to say this!

I am going to have to look for them. They sound perfect. Thanks.

Not that I have a whole lot of experience of traveling with purses, but I do the same – collapse bags inside of bags because sometimes you take more back than you did there, or the other way around.
