The future of luggage
I have seen the future of travel, it is suitcases / bags that have built in scales. For starters, weighing your travel bags is getting more important. Never would have occurred to me before (I never take much) but on this trip Clare wanted a spare kitchen sink (just in case) so we were quite heavily laden. Then because we were travelling with Thomas Cook and their luggage limit was a less than generous 15kg each, we struggled a bit. The suitcases we had borrowed weighed nearly that on their own, so here's my advice dump your samsonite suitcases now! It's going to become more and more important to have super lightweight travel bags.
Ah damnit I thought I had invented the self weighing suitcase while on holiday but there 1 are 2 [s]loads[/s] some... hmm not as many as I thought, maybe this has got legs.
Don't carry one like this 3 in your hand luggage though, Mother-in-law had hers confiscated at Turkish security (though they then relented and returned them. Something to do with the massive hook I suppose.
