Another
reason why I’m fond of the carry-on only packing is the travel that must be
done when I arrive. On a trip to NYC, I did carry-on only, but it was the full
carry-on and a personal item, my backpack. Moving through the subway and then
walking through the streets with this luggage was doable, but hardly ideal. I
can’t imagine trying to move through a dense metropolis while toting large
check-in bags behind me.
I’ve since
ditched dual carry-on and moved to a single backpack as my only luggage. I can
fit nearly a week’s worth of clothing inside and still have room for my gadgets
and other goods. I can hop off the plane, onto the subway, and blend in
perfectly with the urban environment.
Who needs
roll around luggage?
