Luggage and Bags

Full disclosure before the list begins. I AM A BAG LADY. It's rare that a pass a good sale on a good bag. After all, each destination requires a different organization. I've got them all! Click on the image or link, and you'll be directed toward purchase.

 TUMI - Voyageur Halle - Hagen Laptop Backpack - 12 Inch Computer Bag For Women

It took a long time to make the jump into Tumi. It's comfortable, endless organization, adjustable, locking zippers (which is really the most unique part), and it's nylon. It's not heavy and slides over my large luggage handle. Plus, I think my gold is really cool! A great deal made the sale.

TUMI - Voyageur Oslo - Osona Compact Wheeled Carry-On Luggage - 16 Inch Rolling Suitcase

An amazing roller that actually rolls. Tried many inexpensive brands and when I finally tossed them out a window in frustration, I knew I needed something that would last and not make me crazy. Great organization, nylon, lightweight, and slides over my large luggage handles.

Luggage Tags:  Travel Anniversary Gift, Personalized Baggage Tag, Custom Leather Tag

These go on every bag. From camera bags to totes, Bramble and Beene personalizes each tag. Great quality at great price.

The Catalina by Lo & Son
Canvas. Lightweight and affordable. Available in many sizes. Bottom pocket to store shoes. Best of all, you can pack this power horse in your luggage for all those extra souvenirs. Also, fits over suitcase handles. And, surprisingly washes well.

Eagle Creek Pack-It Specter Compression Cube Set with Tube Cube, White/Strobe
It never ceases to amaze me how much I can stuff into these cubes. I pack two with essentials and put a third in my suitcase for additional items I might gather during the trip.

Travel Jars Cosmetic Containers, Perfect Compact Sample Size Silicone Travel Container
The flat jars are more convenient than the tubes; although, the tubes are great for shampoo and such. For makeup, these are the ticket!
