Luggage: A Couch-Sized Issue

If you’re a traveler, the greatest innovation of the past century isn’t space travel or insulin, but rather wheels on luggage.

This has changed everything.

No longer are you restricted by your own ability to lift and manage your own bags. You can now bring just about everything you own, and simply be able to push it along a sidewalk until someone much stronger than you can lift it on to a conveyor belt.

This is clearly evident in the fact that new luggage comes in the same sized box as a couch. If you don’t believe me, take note next time you’re at an airport or cruise ship terminal. It’s a comedy of errors watching some people attempt to manage their own stuff.

For some, this catastrophe-in-waiting is remedied by packing light. This has always been my preference. However, this is not a course of action that will work for some people.

As it turns out, there are a number of services out there that will pick up your luggage a few days in advance of a cruise (or other types of trips), and will deliver it to your embarkation point. Imagine how nice it is to get up on your date of travel, grab your carry-on, and leave for the airport.

No overhead cranes to get your luggage in and out of your trunk; no wheeling through the airport with your half-ton of stuff – it takes away a lot of the pain of travelling.

So, if you’re a notoriously heavy packer, or even if you just don’t want to be bothered dragging stuff through airports, it’s probably worth checking one of these services out. For a few dollars more you solve a couch-sized issue.

Now… think about how much more stuff you can bring!
