… all I realllly want, is a nice, deep massage. After that nearly backbreaking work packing all my things into 2 suitcases (which are already full by the way, because of all the thick coats *geez I packed like I was going to Siberia!!* and shoes), all I want to know now is, can’t someone do “professional packing” for a living?
Seriously, there are SO MANY travelers out there who’d rather not pack (or worse, unpack… guilty!), so I think those super O.C. peeps can actually making a living out of packing for other people.
On another note, I think no matter how light you pack, if you have a heavy luggage, you could still end up with an overweight suitcase. Samsonite tops that “heavy luggage” category (although they claim their luggages are indestructible… *I broke mine in 2 years hahaha*). Samsonite though, has come up with one of their lightest luggages yet– the Cosmolite.

It weighs 7.3 lbs and costs US$500. I don’t really know if I’m that willing to spend for luggage. My friends have a Rimowa which has been working out great for some of them (2 others complained about the wheels coming off after frequent use). I think I’m still happy using a fabric suitcase.
I’ve been happily using a puffy suitcase bought in France (probably made in China hahaha) and a larger Kipling for quite some time now.

They’re both fairly lightweight. Only drawback is, they don’t have the “4- wheel drive” 😀
Peeps, what suitcase brand/s do you use and what has your experience been with those brands? Do share– I think a lot of us have a lot to benefit from your experiences 🙂
Oh, and I’m going to Paris tonight, so do follow me on Twitter if you’d like to read more up-to-the-minute “updates” 🙂
