Summertime Means Packing Light

Athena 3-Piece TSA Lock Suitcase Set - Red

I’m in a bit of a predicament, dearest cyber friends.

I’m in the process of moving my things—gradually—back to California from the East Coast, but in a recent trip to visit my parents and drop off some of my belongings, I left my convertible carry-on there.  I currently have in my possession two large suitcases and a backpack.

I know it sounds like I have plenty of luggage, so why exactly is this a problem?

Because this weekend I’m going to DC to visit friends and family for the holiday weekend, and my current luggage is ridiculously unsuited for the trip.  I need something portable, but with more room than a measly backpack.  Not that I can’t stuff an impressive amount of things into a small space—try studying abroad for a year—but it’s really not ideal.

Irv’s Luggage was the place to go for me, mostly because their generous summer sale couldn’t be any more timely.  With savings of up to 75% off, and with a focus on traveling light and packing smart, I know I got a great deal on my new convertible carry-on.

Granted, I would prefer to not have had to buy a new one, but after the sale and Coupon-Gurus exclusive $10 off $75 Irv’s Luggage coupon code SAVE10CGURUS, it didn’t hurt too badly to splurge.

These next few days before the holiday weekend can be relaxing now that I have my luggage situation squared away.  Not being hung up on details of what carry-ons are allowed on flights and whether or not my backpack will fit under the seat in front of me, lets me relax days in advance.
