Luggage


I have been looking at all sorts of luggage trying to figure out what the best option would be.  In the last year or so I purchased a hard shell luggage set with spinner wheels, fancy and cool. But they can be cumbersome to roll around if I have more than one.  As I will be abroad for one month, I really need something that I can easily transport around the cities I will be in and has maximum packing space. Many of the streets in Italy have cobblestone streets from what I have been reading so wheelies can be a challenge.  After several months of looking at a multiplicity of options I narrowed my selection down.  I have been pricing this set for months now.  I would never pay full price for this set, although I will surely use these more than once.  The other dilemma was determining what size to get? Do I get a 21, 26 or 32 inch bag?  So I went to Kohl's today (one of my faves) to look at the set and compare the sizes.  The price on these ebags was nearly half of what they sell for in the store.  I was extremely blessed to find them on sale 50% off at Kohls! SCORE! So after 30 minutes of unzipping, zipping, measuring, feeling, picturing the possibilities I decided to get these two (well there are actually 3)!  The coolest features: all three bags have backpack straps!  I know I can only carry one on my back at a time... The larger bag (I decided on the 32 inch) will be my checked bag.  this will be the one I carry on my shoulders.  The smaller (2-in-1) bag, notice it has a small detachable daypack on the front.  This smaller bag will be my carry on.  I will be able to fit my laptop, tablet, a change of close, and a few other reading materials and accessories.  I know it is just luggage, but after months of searching, to find them on sale 50% off, and the Kohl's sales clerk gave me an additional 15% discount (I had a coupon at home, but it isn't good until Thursday) I saved over $300 on this set! MJ is a happy girl tonight.  Thank you God for your goodness and special deals!
