happy holidays from snowy Austria! My household as well as I have gone on our annual ski trip, to a location that may also have the motto, “work hard, play hard”. households ski all the time in Bogner, Moncler as well as Frauenschuh, afternoon at the ice bars as well as cafes, walking along the street as well as buying at the boutiques, as well as then have long, meat-laden meals at the regional hotels as well as restaurants – all in a town center that is perhaps 1/2 mile long. I begin packing for this trip about two weeks in advance, as not only do we requirement all the requisite ski gear (of which there is rather a lot), however I likewise have to plan what I should wear for the different meals, some more formal than others, which likewise need some amount of walking (or even waiting) in the snow.

The concern then asks itself: do I requirement a bag? as well as then – since obviously of program I do, who am I kidding – What bag should I carry? Finally, exactly how do I get it there, without any type of issues? Whether you are traveling on a ski trip, or to a city like Paris or Rome, or on any type of other holiday or vacation, when you have decided to bring one of your great bags (and let’s deal with it, if you’re reading this, at some point in time you are most likely going to do so), you have to figure out the very best method to go about it.

I am not the very first person to compose about this, as well as I was a bit wary of covering ground that has been covered before, elsewhere, however I have yet to checked out a realistic article on this subject. My problem with the articles I have checked out on traveling with your bag is that they seem so impractical; whether it was costs notable sums on bags for your bags, or utilizing packing techniques which need you to really hand bring more on top of whatever it was that you were already going to bring (I envisioned myself having a hard time to bring three bags nested within each other, all kept inside an even larger costly bag, having a hard time keeping that bag as well as my wheeled carry-on behind my family, who were prepared to leave without me as I held up TSA screeners as well as continually lagged langt bak). It just seems to me like those articles were written by people who didn’t have children, or only two hands, or – aha – were much more concerned with the appearance of traveling luxuriously, ignoring the realities of travel. This may not be the very first Traveling-With-An-Expensive-Bag article you have ever read, however it will truly be the most honest as well as practical.

The response is truly one simple word: backpack (more specifically, an ultralight packable daypack, however I’ll utilize “backpack” to keep it simple). perhaps that’s a word that you don’t want to hear with regards to your costly bag, however when you discover the right backpack as well as concern less about exactly how it looks, as well as then you really travel with it, you will discover that it solves a number of problems at when as well as makes your travel circumstance rather a bit easier.

There are a number of benefits to utilizing an downplayed backpack as your bag travel companion. very first off, all those nice bags inside nice bags, or on their own, do tend to draw in some interest – at least, *I* definitely notice whenever somebody is bring something costly with the airport, as well as I understand I’m not alone. Is this truly the location you want your great things to be seen as well as noticed? Of program not.

Another benefit is a worry-free layer of security for your bag, depending upon the material that the backpack is made of. most are rather sturdy as well as can protect against unwanted jabs as well as even spills.

I like backpacks since they are totally hands-free and, even better, you are using your bag, so it’s on you all the time. You understand it’s there, though nobody sees it (we were waiting to get on the airplane when my other half asked me whether I had even brought a purse), it’s protected, it’s on you, it’s light, as well as the backpack will likely have additional outside zippered andside pockets to ensure that whatever else you requirement for your actual travel is handy as well as quickly accessible.

Finally, possibilities are great that there will be some times on your trip when you are going to requirement a bag other than your handbag or where a handbag isn’t appropriate. For example, today I decided to take a day off from skiing as well as needed to discover atredemølle samt gå en løp. Heldigvis var det en beliggenhet i byen med fasilitetene jeg trengte, men kanskje å gå inn med min 25 cm Kelly ville ikke være det aller beste konseptet, så godt som kan til og med få litt uønsket oppmerksomhet. Jeg hadde imidlertid ingen bekymringer, siden jeg hadde ryggsekken med meg, så vel som så jeg klarte å ta med Kelly så vel som treningsnødvendigheter mens jeg fortsatt holdt meg passende så vel som under radaren.

Nå må du selvfølgelig ta noen beslutninger når du velger hvilken pose (er) du skal ta med deg på en tur. Som alltid, jo færre, jo bedre. Helt ærlig, med mindre du reiser med små barn, krever du ikke en stor pose. Jo mer du bærer, jo mer må du følge med, så vel som på de fleste steder er det ikke et flott konsept å legge igjen en veske på hotellområdet ditt, så det må gå overalt med deg. Unntaket fra dette, så langt Hermès går, er at poser som er 25 cm eller mindre i form i de fleste romsikker. Jeg har kanskje til og med fått en 30 cm Birkin til ett år siden, da barna mine var litt så godt som vi gikk for å svømme med delfiner. Hvis du er på et sted som Las Vegas, som er ekstremt opptatt av sikkerhet, kan du bruke et av hotellsærene i primæretasjen. Uansett reiser jeg ikke med mer enn en pose, så vel som en clutch: vanligvis en 25 cm Kelly (på grunn av stroppen) eller Birkin, i tillegg til noe som en stor Constance eller Kelly lommebok. Dette gir tilstrekkelig rekkevidde så vel som det ikke er så godt å bekymre seg for, selv om jeg på denne turen nettopp har brakt Kelly, så vel som vi er borte i ti dager. Husk at materialet vesken din er laget av; Ettersom det er så mye uforutsigbarhet med hensyn til å reise, er solide lær som tåler litt dårlig værforhold (eller potensielt en og annen Disney Water -tur, ja, jeg har gjort det) er nøkkelen.

Når du har valgt hvilken veske eller vesker du tar med deg, krever du å oppdage høyre ryggsekk. Jeg var heldig at den rette ryggsekken virkelig oppdaget meg for noen år siden, da jeg bodde på Mohonk Mountain Home i New York med min andre halvdel så vel som eldre sønn. Hotellet, som er ekstremt kjent for sine fotturer så vel som fjellklatringsstier, mangler romsikkerhet. Nøyaktig hvordan skulle jeg takle en to timers fottur med 25 cm Birkin? Jeg oppdaget responsen i hotellets butikk: en liten svart dagspakke av Chicobag som raskt strakk seg til i form av veske (og til og med iPad-en min) med noen nyttige glidelåser i utvendige, så vel som flaskeholdende lommer på sidene. Problemet løst! Jeg gjorde det opp på fjellet og holdt at Birkin trygt sikret seg på ryggen, så vel som det har vært min konstante reisekompis siden.

Selv om løsningen min ikke fungerer for deg, bør du absolutt ta lang tid å se på valgene dine, samt velge hva som vil fungere fineste for dine reiser. Jeg vil bare foreslå at en tynn, lett ryggsekk som er solid er din fineste innsats, ettersom du ikke virkelig krever demping, så vel som du ikke vil legge til noen form for unødvendig vekt.

Her er noen gode steder å starte, bare basert på min personlige forskningsstudie (jeg er ikke i noen metode tilknyttet disse selskapene):

Dette er vesken jeg bruker. Det er laget av totalt fra “100% resirkulerte plastflasker etter forbruker”, som er en samlet gevinst for meg.

Noen av disse ser også ut som gode alternativer.
