It’s spring! Don’t you just feel like hitting the road? Well, maybe you do if you don’t travel for a living.
Either way, luggage. I’ve had my fair share of experiences with luggage over the years. Lost luggage, broken luggage, matching luggage — you name it. Currently, I travel with a non-descript, black roller that I can barely distinguish from anyone else’s. I bought it for $49 at Target in 2008. It replaced a smaller roller that lasted two trips and cost all of $19. (No wonder, right?)
I can get away (haha) with a $49 roller because I don’t travel a lot these days. If anything, it’s a weekend jaunt to visit family and friends every six months or so. I expect I will have to buy something new later this year because one of the wheels is shot and it wobbles when I walk too fast. (It doesn’t just wobble, actually. It starts to wobble. And then if you don’t slow down or stop, the wobbling gets more and more violent until it actually flips itself over! It’s really fun when your flight was delayed and you have 10 minutes to get to your next flight on a different concourse.)
