Holiday travel time is rapidly approaching, and the dude and I will be heading to Las Vegas for Thanksgiving and Palm Beach and Milwaukee to spend some pre-holiday time with our families. The Palm Beach/Milwaukee trip will be especially challenging for me in terms of efficiency because we'll be traveling directly from a very cold place to a very warm place.
Another complicating factor is that I don't have very much patience for checked luggage, so I will be condensing a lot and am hoping to use only carry-ons.
A neutral carry-on that won't cause back problems for me (I love the Vera Bradley small duffel, but the large one is way too cumbersome for me once I inevitably overstuff it) and a bright carry on that will easily slip under the seat in front of me are the key pieces. Other great pieces: a purse that pops easily into the aforementioned carry-on and will serve as an everyday bag while traveling, a bright jewelry case so I can easily spot my jewelry without having a panic attack about losing it, and a pair of TOMS in a neutral color that are comfortable and easy to slide on and off during security checks.
Let's hope that these ideas and items will keep my winter travels somewhat more streamlined!
