Luggage

YSP

Hi - Am bound for the American Canyonlands Tour. Starting the tour before a business trip. Wondering whether Tauck allows us to bring 3 pieces of checkin luggage that can go under the bus. Extra bag - contains things we need for the business trip East later. Any suggestions.

Thanks

Think you should call Tauck on this one, since they state only one piece of checked luggage per person.

Not sure what your business itinerary is, but if you're coming to Vegas for a convention, you could leave the extra bag with the bell desk at your hotel and pick it up at the end of the tour. Otherwise, the only suggestion I would have is to ship your extra bag back home. If you ship Fedex ground and put a vacation hold on your Fedex account, they will hold it for delivery after you return. Of course, this won't be cheap.

Hello nice people,

I'm looking for a new light luggage.
After been searching all day I thing I would like to ask for a hand.
Which one I can choose for me? I usually travel not over 5 nights 4 days
Has somebody ever used one of those mentioned in this review -

Any idea for a nice and durable one?

Thank you in advance for your help!

Its pricey but Rimowa makes great lightweight luggage that will keep you within the international regs for carry on luggage.

Emmagoaround -- there are lots of great choices out there, depending on what aspects/options are most important to you. As far as durability, Osprey is an excellent brand -- I've had great luck with (a slightly older version of) this bag: OZONE WHEELED GLOBAL CARRY-ON 38L/19.5"... it is less than 5 lbs and has incredibly sturdy wheels. It is mostly "soft" with a lightweight frame (essentially on the back and bottom) so it is usually not an issue when soft-sided luggage is preferred. I believe they make a version with stow-a-way backpack straps. They have a website, but REI also sells many of their bags.
