Thank you. Bracelet looks wider than 3/8″ so that is why I wish they would measure. (Their competitor does, ah hum.)

Money. That’s it. Not enough money! Only challenge I have to travelling.

Fear of flying and not being tall enough or strong enough to get my carryon baggage into the overhead bin by myself. Usually some kind stranger will end up putting it up there for me.
I’ve decided from now on, no more carryon baggage, except for one small personal item. I usually fly with southwest anyway, and they don’t charge baggage fees. Now to get over that pesky fear of flying… Sigh.
I guess I will have to look into the underseater. 🙂

Anxiety as well. I used to travel at least 2x a year for work. I don’t care how early I made my travel arrangements, I always ended up with the middle seat. I either have to be by the window or the aisle. When I’m by the window, I have control over the window. Because of my anxiety, I have to be able to see out. I’m considerate and lower the shade to not bother my neighbors, but I have to be able to see part of the sky.
Flying is very stressful for people with anxiety issues. Luckily, I don’t do that job anymore, so someone else goes on the business trips.

I think my baby ( who has four legs and fur ) is my biggest travel challenge ! He really does not like strangers and demands mommie and daddy’s attention .
At home he is very calm, but when traveling he is a mess .

Hello Samantha.
I am headed to Israel in May 2017 with a tour group. (I really hope you read this!! It would be exciting to hear back from you :smileyvery-happy:) Having never travelled abroad like this, nor having travelled for the past 8 years, I am wondering how many bags should I take? I know I am going to buy one of your sets. Is the 5 piece sufficient? Should I add on a 25 inch? Is there a set you would recommend?
Thank you.
Kate

My biggest challenge is trying to plan budget-friendly trips. There are a few special places on my bucket list, but I’m having trouble coming up with economical ways to get to them!

I really do not care for the glossy croco finish on luggage. It is nice that u can wipe it down, but is flashy fake, if u know what I mean.

I was all set to buy the ultra light weight luggage today until I realized 2 important things are missing. One, the tote really needs to have a zipper NOT just a sanp. If you are going to put this under the seat in front of you, it is way to easy for things to fall out without a zipper. Second, the back zippered pocket is missing from the tote. Not only is this great for documents needed for security but also it holds the personal item securely to the other carry on. just having the tote straps will make the bag fall off /slide around any of the larger pieces. I LOVE the idea of the ultra light weight but wish you would not omit the great features that we love about the other SB luggage. I hope you will put these features in the light weight in future so I can buy the set. Thanks for listening.

Have had the Navy croco luggage in all shapes and sizes for over 4-5 years and received tons on compliments on every trip I take. But have a problem with one of the large pieces of luggage which can be expanded. The largest one got expanded on a trip a couple of years ago, and I can’t figure out how to get the “self-sealing” zipper to zip back up again. Need to figure this out since this bag always gets checked and becomes target since it looks like it is overpacked and is probably too heavy even when it isn’t.

? oh, and i forgot about germs. yes, anxiety AND germs…see my previous posts:catwink:
-
? ahh, yes, anxiety. it starts as soon as the trip is booked. the last trip i took involved a three hour train ride to the airport, yes…three hours. then the tram was down, so we had to pile onto busses. there was the usual chaos with check-in and tsa. when i finally got to the bording area i thought, “oh good, NOW i can relax.” and then i remembered, “oh, that’s right…now i have to fly for seven hours, through thunderstorms…” ahh yes, anxiety….:heart:
